BAKED APPLES

Ingredients:

6 baking apples
1/2 cup honey or sugar
1/2 cup raisins, if desired
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. butter or margarine
1 cup water
6 Marshmallows (optional)

Serves: 6

Method:

1. Core apples without cutting and peel about 1/3rd of the way down. Place in a baking dish.
2. Mix all the remaining ingredients except fat and water and fill the centers of apples with it.
3. Dot the filling with fat and pour water into the baking dish.
4. Bake at 375 degrees for about 45 to 60 minutes or till apples are tender. If apples seem to be dry, baste frequently with liquid in pan.
5. After baking, top each apple with a marshmallow, if desired and return to oven till marshmallows are lightly browned. Alternatively, top with cream cheese (beaten fluffy).
