|
Ingredients:
FOR THE CUSTARD SAUCE:2 egg yolks 3 tablespoons sugar 1 cup scalded milk 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind 1/4 teaspoon vanilla FOR THE APPLES: 4 baking apples 1/4 cup chopped pecans 1/4 cup raisins 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon 1 cup maple syrup
Directions:
To make sauce, in the top of a double boiler, whisk together egg yolks and sugar. Over hot (not boiling) water, gradually whisk in milk. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and coats the back of a metal spoon. Remove from heat and water; stir in lemon rind and vanilla. Cool, stirring often.Core apples, starting from stem end, leaving bottoms intact. Peel each apple (from the stem end) two-thirds of the way down. Arrange apples in a shallow baking pan into which they fit slightly apart. Stir together pecans, raisins and cinnamon; spoon into core cavities of apples. Pour male syrup over apples. Bake in 350-degree oven, basting occasionally with the syrup, until tender--about 45 minutes. SERVING SUGGESTION: I spoon a pool of custard sauce onto individual dessert plates, place an apple in each pool, and drizzle the tops with the custard sauce.
