Baked Cinnamon Apples

A PRETTY DISH to have with any meal or for guests. Cinnamon, brown sugar and butter enhance these apples and make a good autumn harvest side dish. To give color use craisins instead of raisins. Kids enjoy eating apples this way.

• Ready In: 50 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 4  apples
• 4  tablespoons raisins (or craisins)
• 4  tablespoons brown sugar
• 1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 4  teaspoons butter

Directions

1. Remove core and seed from each apple. Cut top peeling off each apple. Poke a knife in the side of each apple several times. As the apples bake this keeps the apples from breaking apart and gives an air vent.
2. Arrange apples in a baking dish and stuff each core with raisins.
3. Mix brown sugar and cinnamon and spoon over raisins. Dot each with a teaspoon of butter.
4. Cover with a foil "tent" and bake in a 375 degree oven for 35 to 40 minutes.
5. Note: Before baking a teaspoon of maple syrup (breakfast type) could be added to each core and let ooze down.
