Baked Apples - my wife's method...

4 crispy, tart, green apples, medium sized (Granny Smiths are good)

{ 3" medium thickness stick cinnamon, broken, ground (use a coffee grinder) }
{ 14 allspice cloves, ground same way (makes interesting coffee afterwards) }
{ Dash grated nutmeg                                                        }

            OR

{ 1 1/4 tsp. cinnamon     }
{ 1/2 tsp. allspice       }
{ 1/8 tsp. nutmeg         }

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
3 tablespoons butter (grate if cold)
juice of 1/2 medium lemon

3/4 cup golden raisins
1/4 cup dried pitted prunes
3/4 cup chopped walnuts or other nuts


   Preheat oven to 400. Butter deep baking dish that has a lid. (Foil works
if you don't have a lid.) Core apples. (Don't peel.) Arrange apples in
dish. If lid won't fit, cut their little bottoms off (hey, that's what it
says). If four apples won't fit, chop slices off of them until they do, then
put the slices in the spaces between the apples.

   Combine all remaining ingredients in bowl. Mix well (this is where
grating the butter comes in handy). Stuff in the center of each apple,
and squish the rest in the spaces between.

    Bake covered at 400 for about 30 minutes or until desired softness.
Serve hot with vanilla ice cream (spoon extra sauce over ice cream).


If I weren't so stuffed from just eating one, this'd make me hungry!
