Unfortunately, it's as packed with carbs as it is popular. This baked apple variation is just as delicious with half of the carbs. I use real brown sugar, but you can use the substitute of your choice to halve the amount of sugar.  4 apples1/3 cup brown sugar, or equivalent4 Tablespoons unsalted butter2 teaspoons cinnamonPreheat your oven to 350 degrees F.  Scoop out the core of the apple from the top, leaving a well.  Stuff each apple with 2 Tablespoons of brown sugar and 1 Tablespoon of butter.  Place in a shallow baking dish and sprinkle with cinnamon.  Bake for 25 minutes until sugar caramelizes and apples are tender.Amount per ServingCalories: 267Carbohydrates: 37g  Dietary Fiber: 5g  Sugars: 32gFat:  12g ...

They’re teaming up for a challenge with Bonnie Raitt and the Green Music Group to fight disposable plastic bottle use and promote reusable bottles. Sounds good and green, right? But wait. We didn’t even mention the best part: You could win a year’s supply of free ice cream. Just take the pledge from the Plastic Pollution Coalition, and then upload a photo of yourself using your reusable water bottle. The deadline is July 2, 2010, so you’d better go green fast. via Treehugger Post from: BlissTree Bonnie Raitt and Ben & Jerry's Fight Plastic Waste. More Importantly, You Could Win Ice Cream.
