Baked Stuffed Apples -- e-w
Yield: 8 servings

- 1 cup apple juice
- 2 ounces dried apricot
- 2 ounces dried cranberry
- 2 ounces white raisins
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 4 medium Red Delicious apples

Preheat the oven to 300º F. In a small pot, bring the apple juice to a simmer. Add the dried fruit and steep until the fruit is tender, about 3-5 minutes. Remove the fruit and combine with brown sugar and honey.

Cut the apples in half and remove the core using a spoon or melon baller. Make sure all the seeds have been removed, but that you leave the bottom and the top of the apple intact to keep the fruit from falling out.

Spoon the fruit mixture into the centers of the apples. Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes, or until tender.
