"What's better on a cool fall day than baked apples with a yummy sauce?" inquires Karen Ann Bland, Gove, Kansas.

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup hot water
  • 4 large Rome Beauty apples, cored
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 12 caramels
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

Directions

  • 1. Combine brown sugar and water in a 9-in. square baking dish. Peel the top half of each apple; brush with lemon juice.
  • 2. Place in the baking dish. Fill each with three caramels. Bake at 350° for 60-65 minutes or until apples are tender, basting every 20 minutes.
