Title: Wormy Baked Apples
Categories: Halloween Fruit
Yield: 4 Servings

6	lg	Golden Delicious apples
1/2	c	*each* raisins and chopped
		Walnuts
1/2	c	Firmly packed brown sugar
1/4	c	Water
1/4	c	(1/2 stick) butter/margarine
1/2	ts	*each* ground cinnamon and
		Ground nutmeg
6		Wiggly candy worms ("Gummy
		Worms")
1	c	Whipping cream, optional

Core apples from blossom ends, leaving stem ends intact. Mix raisins and walnuts and stuff into cavities of cored apples. Set apples, stems up in a 7x12-inch pan.

In a 1 to 2 quart pan, mix brown sugar, water, butter,cinnamon, and nutmeg; stir over high heat until mixture boils. Pour hot syrup around apples. Bake, uncovered, in 350~ oven, basting occasionally with syrup, until apples are tender when pierced and skin begins to crack, 30 to 35 minutes.

Remove apples from oven; cool in pan at least 10 minutes or let cool to room temperature. Set each apple in a small bowl and spoon syrup around fruit. In the top of each apple, cut a hole large enough for one of the candy worms and tuck one end into each apple, leaving most of the worm dangling. Offer cream to pour over apples. Makes 6 ghastly servings. From: Pat Stockett Date: 10-16-96 (15:53) The Computer Workshop (40) Cooking
