Just like any other cooked apple, except that there was a very small

amount of a sweet nutty mixture in the middle. It did nothing for me.

I'd have been just as happy with plain cooked apples, and it would

have been easier.

Note, if you want your filling to spill over the top like in the picture, you better double it. Mine just barely filled up the cavity.

I just made these this weekend, and they were awesome! I did leave out the apricots, and I doubled the topping so I had plenty to stuff inside and pile on top of the apples. I cored the apples like the directions said, but I didn't do it all the way through. I scooped out what was cored with a small measuring spoon so the pecan mixture didn't leak out of the bottom as the apples cooked. Also, next time I will cook them in either apple juice or cider instead of water for even more flavor! I think adding cornstarch to thicken the liquid to make it good for drizzling over the top is a good idea, too! Incidentally, I didn't make this for a dessert...I served it as a side dish along with baked chicken, macaroni and cheese, and buttered asparagus. They got rave reviews from my kids and husband! I can't wait to make this recipe again this fall! Delicious!
