Pediatric Dentist in Carlsbad suggests trying baked apples with a twist. In Carlsbad CA, we cut the tops off the apples and hollow out the inside making a bowl. Fill the bowl with granola and butter, put the tops on and bake 1 hour at 350. Add a little Greek yogurt on top when it has cooled, and you just made one of Carlsbad Children’s Dentistry at 760-633-1131, favorite Halloween desserts. You can try different things in the apple bowl, like cherries, raisins or pears. Little chunks of apples and raisins with cinnamon also create a wonderful, healthy treat for our children and us.
