Baked apples are always a welcome sight at the dinner table on frigid fall evenings. This dressed-up version also features raisins, cranberries and apricots. —Glenda Ardoin, Hessmer, Louisiana

4 ServingsPrep: 30 min. + standing Bake: 1 hour

Ingredients

1/2 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup chopped dried apricots
2-1/4 cups cranberry-apple juice
1/3 cup thawed cranberry juice concentrate
4 large Golden Delicious apples
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground allspice, divided
1/4 cup butter, melted

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the raisins, cranberries and apricots. In a
small saucepan, bring juice and concentrate to a boil. Pour over
dried fruit; let stand for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, core apples, leaving bottoms intact. Peel the top third of
each apple; place in a greased 8-in. square baking dish.
Drain fruit mixture, reserving juice. Stir brown sugar and 1/2
teaspoon allspice into fruit; spoon into apples. Drizzle with
butter. Pour 3/4 cup reserved juice around apples.
Cover and bake at 350° for 50 minutes. Uncover; bake 10-15
minutes longer or until tender. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan,
bring remaining reserved juice and allspice to a boil; cook until
liquid is reduced to 1/4 cup. Serve with baked apples. Yield: 4
servings.
