Title: BAKED APPLES WITH APRICOT AND WALNUT FILLING
Categories: Desserts
Yield: 2 servings
1/4 c Apricots;dried, firmly
-packed, chopped
1/4 c Walnuts; chopped
1/4 c Light brown sugar; packed
1 tb Unsalted butter; softened
2 Granny Smith apples
1/4 c Orange juice; fresh
In a small bowl combine well the apricots, the
walnuts, the brown sugar, and the butter. Core the
apples, making each opening large enough to hold half
the apricot mixture, peel the top third of each apple,
and fill the cavities with the apricot mixture.
Arrange the apples in a deep 2 1/2-quart
microwave-safe baking dish so that they do not touch
one another or the sides of the dish, pour the orange
juice around them, and microwave the apples on high
power (lOO%), covered with micro wave-safe plastic
wrap, for 7 minutes. Pierce the plastic wrap with the
tip of a sharp knife and let the apples stand covered,
for 5 minutes, or until they are tender.
