We live in South Carolina's Piedmont area, which is famous for huge apple orchards. This is one of my family's favorite apple recipes. I almost always make this to top off our traditional Sunday dinner. Ingredients:
1/2 cup chopped walnuts |
1/4 cup sugar |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/4 cup packed brown sugar |
1/4 cup raisins |
6 tablespoons butter, melted, divided |
4 medium baking apples |
1 lemon, halved |
4 short cinnamon sticks |
3/4 cup apple juice |
Directions:
1. In a blender or food processor, grind walnuts and sugar. Add cinnamon and set aside. Combine the brown sugar, raisins and 2 tablespoons of butter; set aside. Core apples and peel the top two-thirds of each. rub tops and sides with lemon; squeeze juice into centers. Brush apples with 2 tablespoons butter; press nut mixture evenly over peeled sides. Place in an ungreased 9-in. square baking dish. Fill apples with raisin mixture. Place a cinnamon stick in each apple; drizzle with remaining butter. Pour apple juice around apples. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 40-50 minutes or until apples are tender. Cool 15 minutes before serving. Yield: 4 servings.
