• Place in a microwave-safe container with a lid.
• Add about 1/2 C water.
• Cover and microwave on high power until done (about 6 minutes depending upon the size of the apples).
• While apples are cooking, make sauce.
• Place sugar, cornstarch and salt in the bottom of a heavy-bottomed saucepan.
• Mix well.

OLD FASHIONED BAKED APPLES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat your oven to 375'F.
• 2. Wash and core the apples. Cut a little slice off the bottom to make the apples sit straight up in the pan. Hollow out the apple removing all the seeds and core. Try not go right through the apple, it's good to save a little on the bottom to hold the ingredients. If you cut through don't worry, you can always add some sauce on it afterward.
• 3. Mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, currants and pecans in a small bowl. Stuff each apple well with the mixture.
• 4. Place in a baking pan big enough to hold the apples. Put the apple juice and water in a small sauce pan and bring to a bowl. Then pour the apple water liquid into the bottom of the pan. Top each apple with a quarter of the tbsp. of butter.
• 5. Bake for 30-40 minutes. Baste the apples with the pan juices several times over the course of them cooking.
• 6. Serve with some ice cream on the side. Use the basting liquid on the ice cream too, it's so good.
• 7. Enjoy!

VINTAGE BAKED APPLES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F.
• Core apples and pare down about 1/4 way from stem. Place apples in a baking dish.
• Combine remaining ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer about 5 minutes. Pour sauce over apples.
• Bake about 45 minutes or until apples are tender. Baste occasionally with sauce in bottom of baking dish.
• Serve warm or chilled, plain or with cream: warm with vanilla ice cream is my favorite!

BACK IN TIME BAKED APPLES WITH VANILLA SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. VANILLA SAUCE: Bring milk to a boil in a large saucepan. (This will increase in volume while cooking so use a pan that is twice the size you think you need)
• 2. Combine the sugar, salt, cornstarch and egg until well mixed.
• 3. Remove milk from the stove and add the sugar mixture stirring with a wire whisk until completely blended. Return to heat, medium, and boil for 5 minutes stirring constantly.
• 4. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Serve sauce warm over apple dumplings. (My bet is you will start doubling this part of the recipe, there can never be too much vanilla sauce.)
• 5. CINNAMON SUGAR MIXTURE: Combine cinnamon and sugar until well mixed.
• 6. EGG WASH: Beat egg, water and salt together with wire whisk until well blended.
• 7. APPLE DUMPLINGS: Roll out dough using either Barb's Favorite Never Fail Pie Crust or your favorite dough recipe, to a rectangle measuring 24 x 18 inches and cut into 12 6 x 6 inch squares.
• 8. Put one peeled and cored apple in the center of each square.
• 9. Pour 1/12 of cinnamon sugar mixture into the cored out center of each apple. (That's about 3 teaspoons each).
• 10. Cover the apples over by bringing the four corners of the square together and sealing by pressing with your hands. Brush with egg wash.
• 11. Place on a greased sheet pan (I use Pam for this), with the folded corners side up.
• 12. Bake in a preheated 450 degree oven for 15 minutes. Then turn the heat to 400 degrees and continue to bake an additional 30 minutes or until apples are tender. (To avoid breaking the crust I use a bamboo skewer to check the apples. They should be easy to pierce when done.)
