Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Large apples
• Cookie sheet or baking tray
• Apple corer or knife
• Butter or cooking spray
• Brown sugar
• Fillings (such as raisins, dates, coconut or nuts)

1. Remove the core from each apple using an apple corer. If no apple corer is available, carefully cut the core out of the apple with a sharp knife, making sure to keep the rest of the apple intact.

2. Sprinkle the inside of each apple with some brown sugar.

3. Coat a cookie sheet or baking tray with butter or cooking spray, and place the apples on top.

4. Stuff the middle of the apples with your chosen variety of fillings (such as raisins, dates, coconut or nuts), pushing them down firmly.

5. Pour a small amount of warm water onto the cookie sheet or baking tray--just enough to cover the bottom.

6. Bake the apples for 30 to 45 minutes at 350 degrees. Periodically baste the apples with the liquid in the tray.

7. Take the apple plump snacks out of the oven. After the apples have cooled, they are ready to eat and enjoy.
