Sometimes the most enjoyable things are the simple foods. All of us love apples & fresh apples are easy to find. In fact, I still have about 1/3 of a bushel left. Had a hankering for baked apples so I whipped 2 up for Jim & myself. They’re very simple to fix. Wash your apples & core them. Place them in whatever you’re going to use to bake them. In a small bowl mix a small handfful of raisins with some cinnamon, brown sugar & butter. Stuff the hole left by coring the apples with this mixture. Set them in the oven to bake at 350∘for 15-20 minutes. You want the apples to be fork tender. Once they are, all that is left is to enjoy them. Sometimes I leave out the brown sugar & pour honey over the stuffing mixture once it’s in the apples. If you want to use them as a dessert, use a bit more cinnamon & brown sugar when baking the apples & throw a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
