Ingredients

• 5 medium baking apples (I used cortland)
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 3 oz chopped raw pecans
• 1/4 cup dried unsweetened cranberries
• 5 tsp grass fed butter

Sauce

• 2/3 cup water
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1/4 cup rum

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
2. Clean and core apples.
3. Be sure not to core all the way through the apple so that the filling does not fall out of the apple.
4. Gently Score (about 1/4″ deep) the apples half way down all the way around to help avoid splitting.
5. Mix together the pecans, cinnamon, cranberries and stuff this mixture into the apples.
6. Top each apple with a tsp of butter.
7. Put stuffed apples in a 8×8 inch square pan.
8. In a small bowl combine water, maple syrup and rum. Mix well.
9. Pour mixture over the apples and bake for 45 minutes or until the apples are soft.
10. Spoon sauce over apples several times while cooking.
11. When the apples are done, take the sauce out of the pan and put the sauce in a small sauce pan.
12. Bring to a boil and gently boil until sauce becomes thick and coats the back of a spoon (about 5 minutes).
13. Pour over apples and serve.
