Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
Dough:
1 cup All purpose flour
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
¼ teaspoon Salt
2 tablespoons Butter
1 tablespoon Shortening
¼ cup Apple juice or apple cider
Filling:
4 tablespoons Butter
¼ cup Brown sugar
½ cup Crushed gingersnaps
¼ cup Ground pecans
1 tablespoon Grand Mariner
1 teaspoon Cinnamon

Directions

Mix flour, cinnamon, salt, butter and shortening until a crumbly mixture forms. Add in the juice slowly, until a smooth dough forms.

Melt butter, and mix the rest of the ingredients into it.

Putting it all together: Core ¾ of an apple (preferably a Granny Smith) making sure that there is plenty of room for the filling. Roll out the dough, the thinner the better. Wrap dough around the apple.

Squeeze off the excess and create leaves for the top of the apple with the extra. Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 20 minutes until dough becomes a light to golden brown. It will not get too dark so definitely keep checking on it.

The dough recipe should yield enough for two apples. To make a stem for the apple use a small piece of cinnamon stick Recipe By :
