OMG These are good!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Quick, easy to make and a huge hit at my house. I didn't have the apple cider and used water, but that didn't matter. The... sauce was still delicious. I added a scoop of vanilla ice cream to the still-warm apples, drizzled some of the sauce and sprinkled a little extra "stuffing" on top before serving. Mmmm, mmmm!Read more

Yummy - and a GREAT compliment to the Sausage and Leek Casserole
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Made these apples for Christmas breakfast (along with the Sausage and Leek casserole from the same show.) I'm not much of an... egg eater so I assumed I wouldn't LOVE this as much as the rest of my household...well I was wrong. This was an amazing recipe and good enough for brunch when guests are in town. I served it with the baked apples and when the juice from the apples mingled with the casserole, well, it threw the whole thing over the top. Read more

We were going over this recipe and noticed that there is no Temperature at which to bake the apples at.

Wonderful!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is the first time I have loved something so much that I've written a review. The only juice I had was Diet... Cranberry-Raspberry and it was still great. My families only complaint was that I only made 4 apples for 4 people. :) I needed a second dessert for Christmas and this will be it. Thanks Pat & Gina. Read more

Great Comfy Food Recipe
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is a great recipe. I didn't see the temperature, either, so decided to read the reviews. Chose to go with 350. I have... cooked for a long time, but never thought about using a melon baller to core the apples. Even my 8 year old could do it (and he did)!Read more
