Baked apples

Ingredients:

·         4 large apples

·         ¼ cup brown sugar (we could also use white sugar)

·         1 teaspoon cinnamon

·         ¼ cup crushed nuts

·         1 tbsp butter

·         ¾ cup boiling water

Preheat the oven to 375ºF (190ºC). In the meanwhile wash the apples, remove cores using an apple corer, and be sure you dig out the seeds.

In a small bowl mix the sugar, the cinnamon, and the crushed nuts and add it to the boiling water. Place the apples in a deep square baking pan. Stuff each apple with the mixture, and top them with a dot of butter. Then add the boiling water to the pan and bake for 40 minutes, until tender, but not mushy. Once you remove the apples from the oven drizzle them several times with the pan juices.
