Baked Apples

2 medium-large apples

Core the apples, leaving a little at the base so the filling will stay inside.

If you wish, scoop out a somewhat wider opening.

No Butter Filling Recipe:

1/4 c. cranberries, raisins, or mixed dried fruit

2 Tbsp. chopped, toasted pecans (or other nuts)

1/8 tsp. cinnamon

2 Tbsp. maple syrup

Butter & Brown Sugar Filling Recipe:

2 Tbsp. butter, softened

3 Tbsp. brown sugar

1//4 tsp. cinnamon

Preheat oven to 375.

In a small baking dish, add about 1/4” of water. Place the apples, upright, in the dish. Stuff the apples with the filling. Bake until the apples are soft, about 20-40 minutes, depending on apple size. Serve warm.

If desired, drizzle with maple syrup, and add a dollop of whipped cream,

vanilla ice cream or yogurt.
