Cider Baked Apples:


Remove cores of 6 good sized apples, apple corer. (A potato peeler
works ok also.) Cut out V-shape at top of apple. Insert into the
V-shape opening: 1 Tablespoon of cinnamon imperials (the little red
hot candies) and 1 Tablespoon maple syrup. Place the apples in a 8x8
baking pan and pour 2-1/2 cups of apple cider around them. Bake at
350-degrees, basting occasionally with the hot cider until apples are
tender, but not mushy. Grate nutmeg on apples. Remove apples from
cider and place on serving dish. Serve hot or some like these
refrigerated first and topped with a dollop of whipped cream or ice
cream.
