From “Cooking Live: Primetime with Sarah Moulton”

Ingredients:

• 4 Gala, Golden Delicious, or Granny Smith apples
• 3 Tbsp soft butter
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp ginger
• 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Keeping the apples whole, use a melon-baller to scoop the core out of the apples. Mix all ingredients from butter to pecans in a small bowl and stuff into apples. Place apples into a baking dish and bake at 375 degrees for 25-40 minutes, basting frequently. Serve with ice cream.
