Because they're cheap and easy, that's why

Baked Apples- something I've never craved, have become my reason for living.

It requires minimal ingredients, takes 5 minutes in all, and can be completed successfully even when under the influence. This recipe is a combination of about four cookbook's recipes. I guess that makes it a Sarah original recipe, right? Wow, Mom will be proud. (Drumroll).... I give you:

Hussies

1 large Granny Smith apple, cored
2 tsp. Splenda brown sugar blend
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 tbs. water

Put water in a small bowl.
Put apple in said bowl.
Put vanilla and brown sugar into the apple.
Cover bowl with Saran Wrap.
Microwave for 4:30.

If you are counting calories, it's a whopping 150 calories per apple.

"Mmm, Mmm, bitch!" -Dave Chappelle

I tried with other apples, but they didn't keep that apple flavor once they were done. I also tried the baking thing...baked for 40 minutes...besides being too long to cook, it didn't taste as good. If anyone tries it, please let me know how brilliant you think I am.

Please note that the picture above is not of my apple. It is Martha's Baked Apples with Spiced Ricotta and Maple Syrup. My apples look like microwaved death.

*An update: with a dallop (like that word? Me too.) of fat free vanilla yogurt (I went crazy), a carefully placed baked apple, and some low lighting, my Hussie actually looked pretty tasty, or maybe I'm just used to it now. ---->

comment on the update...

no Sarah, but if you took the apple away it wouldn't look too bad. Hmmm?

Monty- you are absolutely right. Looking at the picture again, my first assessment of the apple was most accurate. Microwaved death. It looks like it imploded on itself. But I assure you, It's scrumptious.

MmMMM....green pepper, drizzled with caramel, with some sour cream on the side? my other favorite treat.

I love you, sarah. probably because I'm cheap and easy, too (as in your entry title, not "too" as in, "like you"). ;)

I'm talking to myself now? (I did NOT leave that second comment, I swear. Things are suddenly making a lot more sense! Someone's posing as ME!)

Hmmm. I'm beginning to believe that Sarah and Indigo are the same person. Well, if it wasn't for that baking thing. I don't think Indigo could bake an apple if her life depended on it.
