Baked Apples With Currants(Elegant With Roast Pork) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

12 large firm apples
1/2 lb. brown sugar
1/4 lb. sweet butter, melted
1/2 c. pecan pieces
1/2 c. currants
12 cinnamon sticks

Preparation

Slice a piece from the bottom of each apple, so it will sit firmly in the baking dish.
Core each apple, being careful not to pierce through the bottom.
Make a well in center of each apple (where you've removed core) large enough to hold a generous amount of the filling.
Mix filling ingredients together, except cinnamon. Place apples in a buttered baking dish.
Stuff each apple with filling.
Place a cinnamon stick in center of each.
Bake apples in a 300\u00b0 oven for 30 to 35 minutes, until they are soft, yet still retain their shape.
Yields 12 servings.
