Cover apples closely and place in a 400° F. oven or' over a low flame and allow to cook until tender, yet firm and unbroken, basting frequently. When cooked remove cover, fill with cinnamon and sugar, and place in a hot oven or under the flame of the broiler until the sugar melts and coats the apples a delicate golden brown.
