Best Baked Apples

Submitted by Michelle

Ingredients:

4 medium apples, washed and cored (Gala, Fuji, Rome, or Braeburn apples work the best in this recipe!)
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup currants or raisins
1 cup apple juice or cider
½ cup pure maple syrup
1 cinnamon stick or 1 tablespoon mulling spice

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350° F. Coarsely chop walnuts with cinnamon in a food processor.

Combine nut mixture with dried fruit in a small bowl. Fill each apple with the fruit and nut mixture until overflowing. Place apples in a baking dish just big enough to hold the fruit and juice.

Mix the apple juice, maple syrup, and cinnamon stick or mulling spices in a small bowl. Pour over fruit, thoroughly covering each apple. Cover the pan loosely with aluminum foil.

Bake 45-50 minutes in the oven or until apples are tender. Continue to baste the apples with the juice mixture during the baking time.

Serve warm. These taste great with a dollop of vanilla frozen non-dairy dessert on top! Makes 4 servings.
