Apple-corer Baking pan Cup Fork

Pick out 6 nice, large, cooking apples, greenings are the best; core them and put them in a pan.

Put on top of each as much granulated sugar as you can pinch between your finger and thumb, a "pinch" of cinnamon, and a bit of butter about the size of half a lump of sugar.

Pour about 1 cup of hot water into the pan, and set in a moderate oven.

It is almost impossible to say how long to leave them in!

They are done when they are soft and juicy, probably in about 1/2 hour.

Stick a fork into them and try them when you think they are done.

Put them in a pretty plate or bowl with all the syrup that has been cooked out of them, and serve with cream or milk.

They are nice hot or cold.
