Baked Apples with Vanilla Yogurt

I have the luxury of being able to go home on lunch because I live so close to where I work. Today, I was trying to figure out what I could eat that would add some fiber to my diet since I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow. Yes, I know it's a little late to be trying to eat healthy but at least I try.

As I looked through my refrigerator, I started getting depressed about having to eat all "cold" foods for lunch. It's cold outside, and I really didn't feel like yogurt, a cheese stick, and a banana. Plus, there was the fiber issue. Then, as I remembered that we had some apples I had my "ah ha!" moment.

What ensued next could only be described as Julia channeling the food gods, or her mother. Here's the recipe:

1 - medium sized apple
1 - 1-serving size container of Wegman's Probiotic Vanilla Super Yogurt
cinnamon
butter

Slice the apple and place in microwavable bowl. Sprinkle with cinnamon and place several thin pats of butter on top. Cover and heat in the microwave for 1 minute, 30 seconds (cooking times will vary). When it's done, spoon the yogurt on top and serve.

I swear to god it's like a dessert, but much better for you. I'm happily warm and full now.
