Baked Apples

A sweet and spicy side dish.

6 apples (Rome beauties work well)

¼ cup cranberries

¼ cup walnuts

¼ cup packed brown sugar

¼ cup bread crumbs

1 teaspoon cinnamon

Zest of 1 lemon

3 tablespoons butter, melted

Core apples. Remove a ½-inch slice from the bottom of the apples so they will sit flat in a pan. Place in a greased baking dish and set aside. In a bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Stuff apples with mixture. Bake, covered with foil, at 375 degrees for about 25 minutes or until filling is cooked and bubbly. Makes 6 servings.
