List of Ingredients
- 6 apples, peeled and cored
- Lemon juice
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Brown sugar
- Butter
- Pastry for 2 pies
- Sugar Sauce:
- 2 cups water
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon mace
Instructions
- Roll out pastry and cut into squares enough to cover apples completely. Peel and core apples. Roll in lemon juice. Then roll in white sugar and cinnamon combined. Place on pastry square. Stuff core cavity with brown sugar, butter in equal parts (the amount depends on size of the core cavity, just stuff full). Fold pastry up around apple to completely enclose it. Place in pan.
- Prepare sugar sauce by mixing water, sugar, vanilla, butter, nutmeg and mace and boiling for 1 minute. Let cool slightly. Pour over apples. Bake in 375 degree oven for 1 hour. Serve warm.
- Note: Apples may be frozen in pastry (before sugar sauce is added), if desired. Good dessert to make ahead if you have lots of apples around. Just let thaw when ready to use, and cover with sugar sauce and bake as usual.
