Ingredients

  • 9 -10 medium rome apples (Rome recommended because they are right texture to hold their shape when baked)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (I used regular, but dark would be fine also)
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1/4 cup butter (cut into little pats to top each apple)
  • vanilla ice cream

Method

  • Cut small slice off top and bottom of apple so it will stand up. Core the apple.
  • Combine cloves, cinnamon, raisins, chopped nuts, brown sugar and melted butter.
  • Stuff mixture into each apple and mound slightly at top.
  • Top each apple with small pat of butter.
  • Bake at 350°F for 45 minutes.
  • Serve with vanilla ice cream.
