1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

3. Arrange the 4 slices of bread in a single layer in a gratin dish
and place an apple, peeled side up, in the center of each slice.
Place a sprig of mint in the hole in the center of each apple, then
divide the butter among the apples, placing it on top of the mint in
each hole.
4. In a small bowl, mix together the apricot preserves, grenadine and
water. Pour the mixture over the apples and sprinkle them with the
