53. BAKED APPLES.--Nothing is more palatable than baked apples if a juicy, sour variety can be secured.
BAKED APPLES
(
Sufficient to Serve Six
)
- 6 medium-sized sour apples
- 1/2 c. brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 Tb. butter
- 1/2 c. water
Wash and core the apples, place them in a baking dish, and fill the centers with the brown sugar mixed with the cinnamon. Put a small piece of butter on top of each apple, pour the water in the bottom of the pan, set in the oven, and bake until the apples are soft. Baste frequently with the juice that collects in the bottom of the pan. Serve hot or cold, as desired.
Apples baked in this way may be improved in flavor by serving grape juice over them. Heat the grape juice, and then, if the apples are to be served hot, pour about 2 tablespoonfuls over each apple just before serving. In case the apples are to be served cold, pour the hot grape juice over them and then allow them to cool.
54. MAPLE APPLES.--Apples cooked in maple sirup have a very pleasing flavor. The sirup that remains in the pan is poured over the apples when they are served.
