Had the day off today. It's snowy, blowy and cold here in the Salt Lake
Valley. A power failure took out heat and hot food for a good chunk of the
morning (damned electric range!!!), and I craved comfort food once power
was restored. Finally able to get out and amble through the supermarket at
about noon, baked apples overwhelmed me.

The store had Granny Smith's, Golden Delicious and Braeburns. I got two of
each. At home, I packed them with raisins, dried cranberries, cinnamon,
nutmeg, and dash of ginger, and brown sugar. Poured a little cider into
the bottom of the pan before I put them in the oven.

Forty five minutes at 350 and they were done. They all held their shape.
They all kept their texture. The Braeburn had great flavor.

I'll eat some more tomorrow. I think I'll take one to work with me for
lunch.

Sounds really wonderful.

Sounds great! I'm a little less ambitious: always Granny Smith,
raisins, brown sugar and cinnamon. Nuke for 5 minutes (by
inspection actually.)

Great minds!

I made baked apples for dessert last night - not as fancy as yours
though. I just stuffed them with brown sugar and butter, no apple
juice, no dried cranberries or raisins, not even a sprinkle of
cinnamon. Served them warm with a little cream, they certainly hit
the spot!

My Grandmother used to make baked apples. Been YEARS since I had one!

I think that's a great suggestion for this week!
Except for the cranberries, of course.

I love Braeburns, they're a good eating apple. I don't think I've
tried cooking with them though.

I dunno, maybe if you drizzled chocolate over them... ;-)

Now, see, to me, baked apples with lots of cinnamon, and
vanilla icecream melting on top is better than chocolate.
