BAKED APPLES
This is such a simple dessert that it's easy to forget. Apples are nutritious and usually pretty inexpensive as treats go.
6 or 8 large apples
About 1/4 cup brown sugar (optional)
1/4 cup butter (1/2 stick)
1 cup water
Cinnamon
Preheat the oven to 350ยบ.
Wash and dry the apples. Remove the cores with an apple corer. If you do not have one of these, a slender paring or steak knife will do the trick. Make 3 or 4 cuts down through the core, and remove the triangle or square you have created.
The area you remove should be about 3/4" in diameter.
Place the apples in a baking dish with sides at least 2" high. A 9 x 9 casserole dish should work well. Pour the water into the bottom of the pan.
Put 1 tablespoon of brown sugar in each hollowed out center. Then push in 1/2 teaspoon of butter. Put one more tablespoon of brown sugar, and sprinkle a little cinnamon over all the apples.
Bake for about one hour. During baking, baste the apples once or twice with the syrup that forms in the bottom.
These are best served while warm, but they are still very tasty even if they cool off.
No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a part of the continent, a piece of the main.
