Queen Helene is the name my father used when he wasn't all that happy with my mother. Her given name was Helen. I only assume that he felt Helene was much more royal sounding! Ingredients:
8 cooking apples |
1/2 cup raisins |
1/4 teaspoons cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg |
1 cup white sugar |
1 cup water |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 360 degrees F.
2. Wash and core the apples.
3. Peel apples about 2/3 way down from stem, leaving skin on bottom 1/3.
4. Place apples in a shallow baking pan.
5. Toss raisins with nutmeg.
6. Put raisins inside the apples.
7. Combine the sugar, cinnamon and water.
8. Bring to a boil for 5 minutes.
9. Pour liquid over apples in pan.
10. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes, basting often until apples are soft.
