BAKED APPLES

Category: Apples

Apples
Butter
1/4 cup sugar and packed brown sugar
3 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp allspice and nutmeg
Raisins
Chopped nuts
1/4 cup water

Core apple. Butter skin. Combine sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg in a bowl. Roll buttered apple in spiced sugar mixture. Place in oven-proof serving bowl (or use a Blue Harbor apple baker dish, designed to support the apple and to transmit cooking heat into the center of the apple to speed cooking). Fill hollow with raisins and chopped nuts. Add water. Bake at 325 until skin has opened, about 45 to 60 minutes. Serve hot with vanilla ice cream.
