Fall Harvest Baked Apples

Yummy!!

Here's an easy recipe for Fall Harvest Baked Apples. Thanks to my digital cookbook - AllRecipes!

It'll make your house smell good AND you can eat it! That's more than I can say for any candle or broom:)

I actually used Granny Smith Apples, cooked mine for about 40 minutes and omitted the Walnuts just because Walker can't chew those yet. Also - make sure that when you're mixing your recipe that you don't dump dill seasoning into the mix instead of ginger - not that I would ever do that - but YOU might:)

Now hopefully I won't eat them all before he wakes from his nap!

Ingredients

• 8 red apples, cored (i used Granny Smith)
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1/3 cup maple syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/3 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 lemon, juiced (i used bottled lemon juice)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup coarsely chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place apples in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, ginger, lemon juice and vanilla. Bring to a boil, and drizzle equally over apples.
3. Cover with foil, and bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove cover, and continue to bake for 10 minutes, or until apples are tender. Serve warm.
