Today we had the first season of snow! It just covered the ground,very light and fluffy like a powder. Snow was not so bad but it was very cloudy and cold day. On the day like this, I would like to stay home and cook something yummy. I had 4 apples and wanted to use the oven - apple pie,apple muffin. . or. . My choice was, the easiest one "Baked Apple!" and I loved it.
preheat oven to 350F.
1 Core apples , using an apple corer or a sharp paring knife. Place apples in a
baking pan.
2 Fill holes with Earth Balance, sugar+cinnamon+nutmeg mixture.
