4 granny smith apples, cored and trimmed
2 tbsp dark and golden raisins
1/8 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp instant oats

2 tbsp sugar
Vanilla yogurt

Preheat oven to 350. Core apples into quarters. Place apples in a square baking dish. Combine remaining ingredients except frozen yogurt. Sprinkle on top of each apple piece. Bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes or until apples are tender. Serve warm with frozen yogurt.

When mixture begins to brown, remove from saucepan from the heat. Add 2 tbsp hot water carefully, as the mixture will splatter. Quickly add 3/4 cup cream, stirring briskly.
