Special Diets:
Ingredients
- 6 large McIntosh or Jonagold apples
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 6 tablespoons maple syrup
- 6 tablespoons salted butter, cut into small pieces
Method
Preheat the oven the 350F.
Wash and core the apples, leaving them whole.
Peel the skin down from the top about an inch.
Use a knife to slice across the core-end of the apples to level the bottoms and arrange in a baking dish.
Combine cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves in a small bowl.
Fill the cavity of each apple with 1 tablespoon of the maple syrup, 1 tablespoon of the butter and a dash of the spice mixture.
Fill the baking dish with 3/4 cup water, then bake, basting often, for 40 to 50 minutes, or until apples are tender.
