Maple-Cranberry Baked Apples
HOWARD L. PUCKETT
Tips: Use real maple syrup instead of pancake syrup. The flavor is worth the extra cost. Peel the top half of the apples, or they may explode in the oven. Use raisins in place of dried cranberries, if desired. Shave white chocolate with a vegetable peeler. Also, be sure to store the chocolate at room temperature because cold can make it crumble.
Yield: 8 servings (serving size: 1 apple, 2 tablespoons syrup, and 1/2 tablespoon white chocolate)
