Baked Apple
What? Your Mother never baked apples? Here’s how Patty does it.
Wash how ever many you wish to fix. I serve a whole apple for each person. First you wash it and then core it. When the core is out I like to put some butter in the opening and then some raisins. Rather than put the brown sugar over the apples, I take a cup of boiling water, dissolve some brown sugar so it is as sweet you like it. I pour this into the baking dish holding the apples and this one cup of liquid is for three apples. I’ve also dissolved about 3/4 Tablespoon of corn starch and added to the liquid so it will thicken as it bakes. I will baste it several times to make sure the good juice gets over the apples. I’ve also learned how to keep the apple peeling from looking so bad after it bakes by making a small cut, not too deep, around the apple. I suppose if you don’t want to mess with a whole apple, you could slice them into a baking dish and pour the butter, raisins and liquid over them and bake the same way. Use a 350° oven and bake for 30 minutes. Stick with fork for tenderness.
I’m sure you can find a recipe on line. I just kind of throw the things together. LOL
