"You can serve the baked apples warm from the oven, or cold, or reheated. They are nice as a side dish along side a pork roast. Try these any time, they are delicious!"

With a zester/stripper, make a decoration down the sides of the remaining skin on the apples.
With an apple corer, remove the core of the apple, being careful not to go through the bottom, it should be like a container.

Put a generous teaspoon of butter on each apple.
Pour a layer of water in the bottom of the baking dish to about 1/2 inch.

This was very easy to assemble and just stick in the oven. It also uses ingredients I always have. My apple was on the tart side, so it wasn't very sweet, but I enjoyed the contrast of the maple syrup with the tartness of the apple. So if you want it sweet you need to use a sweeter apple and you might want to sprinkle some brown sugar on it. I also thought it would be good with a bit of cinnamon. My apples were small and it took them one hour to bake and I basted them twice. Thanks for sharing your recipe Dancer!
