BAKED APPLES

     APPLE-BAKE - A quick substitute for apple pie

INGREDIENTS (Serves 4)
     4         green apples (crispy, tart, medium sized-Granny
               Smiths are good)
     3 in.     stick cinnamon, broken and ground (use a coffee
               grinder.) Alternative: 1 1/4 tsp powdered cin-
               namon.
     14        allspice berries, ground the same way (makes
               interesting coffee afterwards).  Alternative: 1/2
               tsp allspice.
     1/8 tsp   grated nutmeg
     1/2 cup   brown sugar
     3 Tbsp    butter (grate if cold)
               juice of 1/2 medium lemon
     3/4 cup   golden raisins
     1/4 cup   dried pitted prunes
     3/4 cup   chopped walnuts (or other nuts)

PROCEDURE
          (1)  Preheat oven to 400 deg. F.  Butter a deep baking
               dish that has a lid.

          (2)  Core the apples but do not peel them. Arrange them
               in the dish. Cut apples to fit, if necessary.

          (3)  Combine all remaining ingredients in bowl. Mix
               well (this is where grating the butter comes in
               handy). Stuff this mixture into the holes and
               spaces in and between the apples.

          (4)  Bake covered at 400 deg. F for about 30 minutes.
               Serve hot with vanilla ice cream (spoon extra
               sauce over ice cream).

RATING
     Difficulty: easy.  Time: 10 minutes preparation, 30 minutes
     cooking.  Precision: measure the spices.
