Victoria's Stuffed Baked Apples

Baked Apples are perfect for an easy fall dessert.  They are warm, delicious and healthy too.  You will love the smell of baking apples in the oven as an added bonus.

INGREDIENTS

2 1/2 Tablespoons Blanched Almonds

1/2 Cup Plumped Dried Apricots

1 Piece Drained Preserved Ginger

1 Tablespoon Honey

1 Tablespoon Syrup From The Preserved Ginger Jar

4 Tablespoons Rolled Oats

4 Large Baking Apples

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.  Using a sharp knife, chop almonds, apricots, and preserved ginger very finely.  Set aside until needed.  Place honey and syrup in saucepan and heat until honey has melted.  Stir in oats and cook gently over a low heat for 2 minutes.  Remove saucepan from heat and stir in almonds, apricots, and preserved ginger.  Carefully cut off apple tops.  Core apples. Place apples in ovenproof dish and fill cavities with stuffing.  Place apple tops back on.  Pour just enough water into dish to come about one-third of the way up the apples.  Bake in oven for 40 minutes or until tender.  Remove from oven and serve immediately.  Serves 4
