Pretty and nutritious, these sweet berry-stuffed apples make a side dish or dessert packed with autumn appeal. Even the pickiest of eaters will dig right into these tender treats. Ingredients:
1/3 cup dried cranberries or raisins |
1/3 cup orange juice |
4 large tart apples |
1/4 cup chopped walnuts |
2 tablespoons brown sugar |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
dash ground nutmeg |
1 tablespoon butter |
1-1/2 cups water |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine cranberries and orange juice; let stand for 20 minutes. Core apples, leaving bottoms intact; peel tops of apples. Place each on a 12-in. square piece of foil. Drain cranberries; add the walnuts, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Stuff into apples; dot with butter. Bring corners of foil up around each apple and twist to seal.
2. Place on a rack in a pressure cooker; add water. Close cover securely; place pressure regulator on vent pipe. Bring cooker to full pressure over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-high; cook for 10 minutes. (Pressure regulator should maintain a slow steady rocking motion; adjust heat if needed.)
3. Remove from the heat. Immediately cool according to manufacturer's directions until pressure is completely reduced. Remove apples from foil; serve warm or at room temperature. Yield: 4 servings.
