Title: Maple Baked Apples
Categories: Side Fruit Dessert Maple
Yield: 4 Servings

4		McIntosh apples
1	c	Raisins
1/2	ts	Caraway seeds
4	ts	Chopped walnuts
4	tb	Maple syrup
4	tb	French vanilla yogurt

Core the apples, remove and discard the peel from the top third of each, and place the apples in individual ovenproof baking cups. Fill each apple two-thirds full with raisins; top each with a 1/8 tsp caraway seeds and a teaspoon of walnuts. Pour 1 tablespoon maple syrup over each and bake in a preheated 350 F oven for one hour. Top each with one tablespoon of yogurt and serve.

Dave's notes: With the exception of the caraway seeds, this is a pretty standard baked apple recipe. When I made it for the first time, I made two apples with the seeds and two without. The caraway seeds added an interesting flavor to the apples, but personally, I didn't find it very pleasant. I also doubled the amount of maple syrup per apple.
