Ingredients:
6 large Rome, Cortland, or Gala apples
Juice and finely grated zest of 1 lemon
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
3 packed tablespoons dark brown sugar
1/4 cup dried currants
1/4 cup toasted walnut pieces
6 3-inch whole cinnamon sticks
1/2 cup apple cider
1/2 cup dark rum, cider, or water
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Slice off about 1/4-inch of the top of each apple. Scoop out the seeds and core of the apple. Peel off about a 1/2-inch band of the apple's skin along the upper half of the apple with a vegetable peeler. Brush the peeled part and the interior of the apple with lemon juice. Combine the butter, lemon zest, and sugar in a mixing bowl. Add the currants and nuts. Then place some of the butter mixture and a cinnamon stick in each of the apples. Place the apples in an ovenproof baking dish large enough to hold the apples upright. Pour in the cider and rum, bake until the apple is tender, about 30 minutes. Baste the apples with the cider/rum mixture with a bulb baster, 2 or 3 times, during baking.
Serve warm or at room temperature with low fat whipped cream or low fat or no sugar added vanilla ice cream (healthy version)
