-
1 cup (250 mL) apple cider
1/4 cup (50 mL) packed brown sugar
1/4 tsp (1 mL) each ground cinnamon and nutmeg
1 tbsp (15 mL) butter
4 baking apples (such as Golden Delicious or Idared)
1/2 cup (125 mL) mixed chopped dried fruit (such as apricots, figs, prunes and/or whole raisins)
Preparation:
In small saucepan, bring cider, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg to boil; stir in butter. Set aside.
Core apples almost to bottom, leaving base intact. Pare off 3/4-inch (2 cm) wide strip around core at top; trim base to level, if necessary. Stuff dried fruit into each apple cavity. Place in 8-inch (2 L) square glass baking dish; pour cider mixture over top.
Cover and bake in 375°F (190°C) oven, basting twice, until tender, about 45 minutes. Uncover and bake until sauce is syrupy, about 20 minutes.
