• 4 baking apples, cored
• 1/2 cup apple cider
• 1/4 cup maple syrup, plus more for sprinkling
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
  

1. Set the oven at 350 degrees. In an 8-inch square baking dish, place the apples in one layer.

2. In a small bowl combine the cider and 1/4 cup maple syrup. Pour the mixture over the apples. Bake the apples for 45 minutes or until tender when pierced with a skewer. During baking, baste the apples often with the juices at the bottom of the dish. Serve warm with cream and more maple syrup. - Jonathan Levitt
