To save time, after I peel the apples, I use an apple corer/wedger to core and cut the fruit into pieces. These cinnamon baked apples are nice with pork chops, but can also be served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream as an old-fashioned ending to a comforting meal. —Margaret McNeil, Germantown, Tennessee
