Baked Apples With Cranberries

INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Remove zest from orange. Mince half the zest, leave the other half in
strips- set aside. Mix cranberries, orange juice, brown sugar, and
butter. Divide this mixture in half. Stir minced zest into one half-
set other half aside. From the stem end of each of apple, slice off
1/2-inch to form a cap. Remove stem from each cap, and cut an opening
large enough for a cinnamon stick. Core each apple with a melon
baller. Place apples in a small baking pan and stuff each with a
portion of the cranberry mixture containing the zest. Replace cap on
each apple, with a cinnamon stick through the old stem opening. Pour
remaining cranberry mixture around apples, stirring in remaining zest
strips. Bake in a 350-degree oven until apples are tender, about 45
minutes. Transfer apples to serving plates-, pour cranberry mixture
from baking pan into a medium saucepan and simmer over medium heat
until reduced to a thin syrup, 7 to 10 minutes. Spoon some of the
thickened cranberry mixture around each apple. Serve warm with ice
cream or whipped cream, if desired.  Cook's Illustrated, Sept./Oct.
