SWEET EATING on Macrobiotic Diet is not hard to do! This will satisfy your sweet tooth without going off your diet! YUMMY COMFORT FOOD & ALLOWED on this very restrictive diet! Even if you are not on a diet this is delicious!

1 Apple per serving, A good baking apple like Macintosh is best but I used Red Delicious & as you can see it came out perfect! Peel the apple 1/2 down or remove peel completely! I wanted the peel for added roughage! Remove the core. Place in an individual baking ramekin!

Now in the hole left by the core place about 1 Tablespoon of chopped dates or raisins, I used dates for added sweetness. Sprinkle with cinnamon to taste. Add a few drops of vanilla. Place a small blob of Coconut Oil about 1/4 teaspoon, on the top. Now pour into the center of the apple about 2 tablespoons of Molasses, must be blackstrap or unsulphered molasses.  I used Grandmas Molasses. Cover with foil & bake in a 350 degree oven for about 45 minutes or until apple is tender.  Remove from oven & let cool until it is not hot but nicely warm! SERVE! If on Macrobiotic this is a heavenly dessert. If not on Macrobiotic you may add Whipped Cream or vanilla ice cream but the apple is delicious all on its' own!
