Spiced Fruit Stuffed Apples

Baked apples are great for dessert, as a side dish, for breakfast, or snacking. Serve them chilled or warm, with or without toping. Use firm apples for baking. Apples vary from region to region. During apple season, use your favorite locally grown apples for best flavor.

4 Servings

2 Tablespoons lemon juice	1 quart water
4 medium cooking apples (Jonathan,	¼ cup currents or raisins
Granny Smith, Golden Delicious, etc)	2 tablespoons brown sugar
¼ cup cranberries, fresh or dried, chopped	½ teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted	1/3 cup apple cider or apple juice
¼ teaspoon nutmeg	Sprinkle of Cinnamon for garnish
4 tablespoons vanilla yogurt, optional

In a large bowl, combine water and lemon juice; set aside.
Prepare apples. Working with one apple at a time, slice ½ inch from the stem end and remove core; use a paring knife or apple corer. From the cut edge of each apple, peel away a ½ inch strip. Place each prepared apple in lemon-water; cut side down, to prevent browning, until ready to stuff.
In a medium bowl, combine currents, cranberries, brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Drain apples. Stuff each apple with spiced fruit mixture.
Place apples in a greased 8x8-inch baking dish. Pour apple cider over apples. Bake 350degrees F for 45 to 50 minutes.
Serve warm with a little concentrated apple cider or juice in the bottom of the pan. Top each apple with 1- tablespoon vanilla yogurt or cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired. For smaller serving, cut each apple in half and garnish.
