Recipe of the Week!

Apples are EVERYWHERE this time of the year, and I love going to pick my own, hopefully the boy and I will have the opportunity at some point this fall. I made an apple crisp over the weekend up at the lake, no recipe though I just winged it and it was okay but I think I would like to try one WITH a recipe. I do love these baked apples though, hopefully you will too!

Baked Apples

2 tart apples (I use Honeycrisp because they are a favorite and they were "invented" here in MN)
2 T. butter
1/3 C. brown sugar
1 t. cinnamon
sprinkling of raisins (I use a combo of golden and regular)
handful of chopped pecans
dollop of vanilla ice cream

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Farenheit.
2. Scoop out a well in the core of the apple, do not cut all the way through. Place in a shallow baking dish. Stuff each apple with 2 tablespoons brown sugar and 1 tablespoon butter and raisins. Sprinkle with cinnamon and pecans (or walnuts your choice or none even, I am just a little nutty).
3. Bake for 15 minutes or until sugar begins to caramalize and apples are tender. Serve with ice cream.
