This is an old recipe with the addition of pecan
and chopped raisins. Serve them with a generous portion of vanilla ice cream
and enjoy!
Ingredients
- 4 large
good baking apples, such as Rome Beauty, Golden Delicious, oranyone you like
- 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
Method
- Preheat oven to 375°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.
- In a small bowl, combine the sugar,
cinnamon, currants/raisins, and pecans. Place apples in a 8-inch-by-8-inch
square baking pan. Stuff each apple with this mixture. Top with a dot of butter
(1/4 of the Tbps).
- 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 ice cream on the side.
