_6 servings_
6 large baking apples
6 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
Cinnamon, as desired
½ cup water
Wash and core apples. Pare apples one-third of the way down or slit the
skin around the apple about half-way down.
Place apples in a baking dish. Put sugar and butter or margarine in the
center of each apple. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Pour the water around
apples to prevent sticking.
Bake uncovered at 400° F. (hot oven) until tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
_Variation_
