Need baked apple recipe
Does anyone out there recall (or have access to an old cookbook) an old weigh****chers recipe from the early-mid seventies for baked apples? I remember my mother used to make it and it called for sugar free berry flavored soda to be poured on the apples and then baked. Does anyone have an old WW cookbook hanging around?
Thanks!

Nanci,

6 Baking apples (Stayman, Rome, etc) (up to 8)
1 (12-oz) cans Diet Black Cherry or Diet Raspberry Soda (up to 2)
Ground Cinnamon (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Wash and core the apples. Use a vegetable peeler or paring knife and remove the skin from the top third of the apple. Place the apples, peeled side up, in a glass deep dish pie pan or other baking dish. Pour soda over the tops to fill the holes and leave about 1/2 inch to 1 inch of liquid in the pan. Sprinkle with cinnamon if desired. Cover the pan with another deep dish pie pan or cover. Bake until soft, basting occasionally. About 1/2 way through, you may want to turn the apples upside down so that they take on the pretty red color and sweetness of the soda. (It is also easier than remembering to baste them.) Just remember to turn them right-side up when you remove them from the oven. Store them in the liquid. Serve hot or cold
I know, I was surprised too at how few ingredients there were. Sometimes simple is best!!
No, I don't have a WW cookbook that old - I googled it & it took some doing but I finally found it!!! I was curious when I read your post so I had to look!! I do have 2 apples in my fridge that I was going to make baked apples with but no soda... I may just make them the traditional way - I am jonesing for them now!!
Definitely check ebay - god knows I've found stranger things out there!!
Good Luck!!

Here is one I cound on line from one of the blogs of another one of us here . Carmel Apple:I mixed 0% Fage with Dolce de Leche sugar free syrup and one Splenda, and I dipped apple slices in it. Good. Really really good. What a great snack. So healthy and so good for you. If you can't find Fage.....just get some plain yogurt till you can find it. Works too.
Here is a good baked apple recipe I make at home, although it does not use diet soda.. pare the apples half wayand core the centers done put in 8x8 " pan that is sprayed with pam spray ,put in pan t,hen pour some sugar free maple syrup over them and spray with butter spray, add a little water to bottom of apn to keep from sticking and they are able to bake & steam in their juices (350degreese covered 25 min then uncover and brown ,test with fork for desirede doneness can also sprinkle with cinnamon if you like and even add raisins in the cored centers before baking ...they are delicious and low calorie!
