● Baked Golden Apples
4 Golden Delicious apples, cut in 1⁄2 widthwise, cored and seeded
1⁄2 cup apricot preserves
1⁄4 cup amaretto
1 stick butter
1⁄4 cup slivered almonds, toasted
Using a melon baller, scoop out about 1-inch of pulp from the center of each apple 1⁄2 and chop the pulp. In a bowl, combine the apple pulp, apricot preserves and the amaretto and mix well. Spoon the mixture back into the cavity of the bottom halves of the apples and arrange them in a baking dish. Place 2 tablespoons of butter on top of each apple’s filling and cover with the top halves of the apples. Pour 2⁄3 cup of water into the dish. Transfer to the oven to bake for 40 minutes, basting with the juices halfway through the baking time.
Remove from the oven and transfer the apples to a platter. To serve, sprinkle with the almonds and drizzle with the cooking juices. ● Serves 4
