The Best Baked Apples In celebration of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish
New Year, families around the world eat an apple dipped in honey as a
wish for a sweet year to come. Whether or not you celebrate this
holiday, autumn is a wonderful time to celebrate new beginnings, like
the start of preschool! Enjoy a scrumptious seasonal snack to mark the
occasion.
1. Preheat oven to 400° F. Wash and core apples.
2. Help your child pour one tablespoon of honey into the cored-out
center of each apple. Let her fill the centers with raisins, then pour
apple juice or cider over each apple. Finally, sprinkle cinnamon on top.
3. Place apples in a glass casserole dish with a cover.
4. Place in oven and bake 45 minutes, or until apples are soft, basting
occasionally. Or, bake the apples in a microwave on high for 12 to 14
minutes, and baste the apples after they're cooked.
5. Remove dish from oven or microwave. Serve warm as a dessert or an
after-school snac |
