This Week's Recipe: Baked Green Apples with Dried Cranberries

Baked Green Apples with Dried Cranberries

*Eating By Color

4 large green-skinned apples such as Granny Smith

½ cup firmly packed brown sugar

½ cup dried cranberries

2 Tbsp butter cut into bits

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Using an apple corer, cut cores from apples in neat plugs. In small bowl combine

sugar and cranberries. Divide mixture evenly and stuff into cavities of apples.  Top each with a bit of butter.

Place apples in a deep baking dish just large enough to hold them (8x8 should work fine). Pour in enough water to cover the bottom of the pan by ¼ inch.  Put pan in oven and bake until apples have turned golden brown, are slightly shrunken and easily pierced with a fork. (About 1 hour.)

Can be served warm or cool with drizzle of cream or ice cream.

* Can use any good baking apple as a substitute!  Super easy dessert. Can also add raisons, nuts, dried fruit in

filling.
