6 Baking apples
6 California dried figs
1 Lemon; sliced

Bring sugar and water to a boil. Add lemon rind and spices. Core apples
and place in baking dish or skillet. Place figs around and between
apples. Pour spiced syrup over all and cover. Bake or simmer gently,
basting occasionally, until apples are tender and syrup thickened. Then
