Baked Apples #1
4 large good baking apples, such as Rome Beauty,
...Golden Delicious, or Jonagold (cooking apple varieties)
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup currants or chopped raisins
1 Tbsp butter
3/4 cup boiling water
1 Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
Wash apples.
Remove cores to 1/2 inch of the bottom of the apples.
It helps if you have an apple corer, but if not, you can
use a paring knife to cut out first the stem area, and
then the core.
Use a spoon to dig out the seeds.
Make the holes about 3/4 inch to an inch wide.
2 In a small bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon, currants
/raisins, and pecans.
Place apples in a 8 x 8 inch square baking pan.
Stuff each apple with this mixture.
Top with a dot of butter (1/4 of the Tbps).
3 Add boiling water to the baking pan.
Bake 30-40 minutes, until tender, but not mushy.
Remove from the oven and baste the apples several times
with the pan juices.
Serve warm with vanilla icecream on the side.
Makes 4 servings.
