kitchen gear

6-cup muffin pan
Melon baller or spoon
Fork
Measuring spoons
Potholder

Ingredients

1 to 2 teaspoons safflower or canola oil
6 Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, or Macintosh Apples
2 tablespoons frozen orange juice concentrate
8 tablespoons dried cherries and raisins or any other dried fruit you like
6 teaspoons honey

Instructions

Turn the oven on and set the heat to 375 degrees.
Using a pastry brush or your clean hands, lightly coat the muffin tins with oil to prevent the apples from sticking to the tins.
Remove the core of the apples by using a melon baller or a spoon.
Lightly prick around the tops of the apples with a fork (this prevents the apples from splitting).
Put the apples in the muffin tins and then fill each apple with 1 teaspoon orange juice concentrate, 1 tablespoon dried fruit, and 1 teaspoon honey.
Once the oven temperature has reached 375 degrees, put the muffin tin in the oven and bake until the apples are soft, about 30 minutes. Serve warm.
