Ingredients
- 2 cups apple cider
- 1 cup dry Marsala wine or kosher wine
- 1/4 cup plus 6 Tbs. firmly packed light
- brown sugar
- 6 Golden Delicious apples
- 2 Tbs. golden raisins
- 2 Tbs. raisins
- 2 Tbs. dried currants
- 2 Tbs. chopped almonds
- 1 1/2 Tbs. margarine
- 1/4 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg
Instructions
- In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, combine the cider and Marsala and boil until reduced to 1 cup, about 20 minutes. Stir in the 1/4 cup brown sugar. The syrup can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate, then bring to room temperature before using.
- Preheat an oven to 350°F.
- Peel the top one-fourth of each apple and core them without cutting through the bottom. Place the apples in a ceramic baking dish. Spoon 1 Tbs. brown sugar and 1 tsp. each of the golden raisins, raisins, currants and almonds into each apple. Pour the syrup over and around the apples. Top each one with 1/4 Tbs. margarine, then sprinkle with the nutmeg.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and continue baking, basting the apples frequently with the syrup, until tender, about 25 minutes more.
- Transfer the apples to shallow bowls and spoon some of the syrup around each apple. Serve hot or warm. Serves 6.
