Pretty enough to pass as dessert, these sweet festive apples make a nice alternative to salad. The creamy nut-filled mixture stuffed inside is delightful. Ingredients:
2 cups sugar |
1 cup water |
1 teaspoon red liquid food coloring |
16 medium apples, peeled and cored |
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened |
1/2 cup chopped pecans |
2 tablespoons mayonnaise |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, bring sugar, water and food coloring to a boil. Place four apples in pan; boil for 3 minutes. Turn apples over; boil 2-5 minutes longer or until apples are crisp-tender. Place in a large dish to cool. Repeat with remaining apples.
2. In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, pecans and mayonnaise. Stuff into center of apples. Serve or refrigerate. Yield: 16 servings.
