Mrs. Soergel's Simple Baked Apples
(Tastes like apple pie filling without the crust)

6 - 8 apples
1/2 cup brown sugar
1-2 teas cinnamon (to your taste)
1 tablespoon water
1 table butter or margarine to dot on top
Peel and slice apples, usually into eighths, to fill a 9" pie pan, sprinkle w/ brown sugar, cinnamon, water & butter.

Bake in the micro on full power until apples are soft, usually about 20 to 25 min. Or bake for 1 hour at 350o in conventional oven.  You may add raisins or nuts for a variation.

Mrs. Soergel doesn’t measure ingredients so these are approximations. You may adjust to your own taste.

 

APPLE FACTS...DID YOU KNOW?
To make a 9-inch apple pie you use 6 to 8 medium sized apples
1 bushel of apples makes 16-20 quarts of applesauce
2 pounds of apples makes 3 cups of applesauce
