 Categories: Desserts, Usenet
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
      4 md Green apples
           -(crispy, tart;
           -Granny Smiths are good)
           Cinnamon stick (3-inch),
           -broken and ground
           -OR use 1 1/4 t powdered
     14    Allspice berries, ground
           -OR about 1/2 t allspice
    1/8 t  Nutmeg, grated
    1/2 c  Brown sugar
      3 T  Butter (grate if cold)
           Lemon juice (from
           -1/2 medium lemon)
    3/4 c  Golden raisins
    1/4 c  Prunes, dried, pitted
    3/4 c  Walnuts, chopped
           -(or other nuts)
 
  Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.  Butter a deep baking dish that has a
  lid. Core the apples but do not peel them.  Arrange them in the dish.
  Cut apples to fit, if necessary.
  
  Combine all remaining ingredients in bowl.  Mix well (this is where
  grating the butter comes in handy).  Stuff this mixture into the
  holes and spaces in and between the apples.
  
  Bake covered at 400 degrees F. for about 30 minutes.  Serve hot with
  vanilla ice cream (spoon extra sauce over ice cream).

  1 1/4 t powdered cinnamon and 1/2 t allspice.
