Large Baking Apples (I'm partial to Rome's for baking)
Core but leave peel on then fit apples over posts in ramkins or barely cover the bottom of a small baking pan with water, and set apples in the pan.
Put a little brown sugar in hollowed core and pack a little of it around the top of the apple so it will drizzle down the outside, when butter melts and apple sweats. Smash a pat of butter over the hole, and top with abundant cinnamon. (use honey or molasses if using ramkins, and lightly drizzle top of apple) Place in hot oven and reduce heat to 350. Bake 15 to 25 minutes, until apple is tender-crisp. Remove from oven and let sit until warm.
