Baked apples are always a welcome sight at the dinner table on frigid fall evenings. This dressed-up version also features raisins, cranberries and apricots. Ingredients:
1/2 cup golden raisins |
1/2 cup dried cranberries |
1/4 cup chopped dried apricots |
2-1/4 cups cranberry-apple juice |
1/3 cup thawed cranberry juice concentrate |
4 large golden delicious apples |
1/3 cup packed brown sugar |
3/4 teaspoon ground allspice, divided |
1/4 cup butter, melted |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the raisins, cranberries and apricots. In a small saucepan, bring juice and concentrate to a boil. Pour over dried fruit; let stand for 15 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350°. Core apples, leaving bottoms intact. Peel the top third of each apple; place in a greased 8-in. square baking dish.
3. Drain fruit mixture, reserving juice. Stir brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon allspice into fruit; spoon into apples. Drizzle with butter. Pour 3/4 cup reserved juice around apples.
4. Cover and bake for 50 minutes. Uncover; bake 10-15 minutes longer or until tender. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring remaining reserved juice and allspice to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced to 1/4 cup. Serve with baked apples. Yield: 4 servings.
