6 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
6 larges Golden Delicious; Ida Red or Rome Apples
¼ cup Walnuts; chopped
¼ cup Packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons Stick butter; softened
½ teaspoon Ground cinnamon
¼ cup Dark rum or apple cider or juice
¼ cup Honey
1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon Minced crystallized ginger

Directions

Heat oven to 350°. Have ready a 13x9x2-inch bakind dish or other shallow 3½ to 4 quart baking dish.

Core apples without cutting through to bottom, making a cavity about 1 inch wide. Using a vegetable peeler, peel apples halfway down. Put walnuts, brown sugar, butter and cinnamon in small bowl and stir until blended.

Stuff mixture into apple cavities. Spoon ½ tsp rum over filling in each apple.

Place apples in baking dish. Put remaining rum, the honey, lemon juice and ginger in a small bowl and whisk until blended. Drizzle over and around apples.

Bake, basting apples with pan juice a few times, until apples are tender when pierced with a knife, 45-55 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
