Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bring the apple juice, vinegar, cinnamon, ginger and sugar to a boil in a small saucepan. Simmer for 5 minutes.
- In another small saucepan, melt the butter. Add the bread crumbs and toast for 1 minute. Stir in the brown sugar. Core each apple and peel the top. Place, peeled side up, in a roasting pan. Fill the apples with raisins and top with the bread-crumb mixture. Pour half of the juice mixture over the apples and roast for 45 minutes, or until the apples are soft but not mushy.
- Remove the apples and place the pan on top of the stove over high heat. Pour in the remaining juice mixture and bring to a boil, scraping up the browned bits with a wooden spoon. Serve the apples warm with sauce and cream.

BAKED APPLES
I don't remember my mother at the stove. When asked what childhood dish was my favorite, I'd stammer and come up empty. And then, walking down the stairs in my Paris apartment, I got to the third floor and said out loud to no one: baked apples! My mother made baked apples. Her apples were big Cortlands or Rome Beauties, and she cored and stuffed them with raisins, because my father loved raisins. I also bake with Cortlands or Romes when I can get them, Fujis or Galas when I can't. I'll often stuff them with raisins, but I think they're especially nice filled with bits of dried apple and candied ginger. And I like to baste them with apple cider and honey. They're good hot or cold, but best served warm and topped with something creamy. Cinnamon (my mom always used too much) is optional.

Steps:
- Center a rack in the oven and heat to 375. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil, and set a 9- or 10-inch glass pie dish on top.
- Cut a small cap off the top of each apple, and set aside. Using a paring knife or corer, core the apples, making sure not to go all the way to the bottom. Cut away and reserve about 1/2 inch of peel around the tops of the apples. Rub the peeled portions of the apples with the lemon, squeezing a little juice into each opening.
- Fill each apple with an equal amount of dried apple and ginger, if using, pressing down lightly as needed to push bits into the opening. Pour 1/2 teaspoon honey over the dried fruit in each apple. Cut the butter into 4 pieces, and top each apple with a pat. Pop the caps back on the apples. (It's O.K. if they teeter). Transfer the apples, lemon wedges and a few of the reserved peels into the pie dish; pour in the cider or juice, and stir in 1 to 2 teaspoons honey. (The honey won't blend evenly into the cider, and that's fine.)
- Bake the apples, basting occasionally with the cider and honey, until you can poke them with a skewer or the tip of a knife and not meet much resistance, 50 to 70 minutes. Since apples are so variable, check early and often, as you might need more or less time.
- Let them cool for at least 15 minutes before serving moistened with a little pan sauce, and if you want, top with cold heavy cream, whipped cream or ice cream and dust with cinnamon. The apples are good warm or at room temperature. They'll keep, covered, for 2 days in the refrigerator and can be reheated in a microwave.
