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.
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°.
Step 2
Combine first 8 ingredients. Stir well; set aside.
Step 3
Peel top half of each apple; place in a shallow roasting pan. Fill centers of apples evenly with cranberries and pecans. Pour cranberry-maple mixture over apples. Bake at 350° for 1 hour or until tender, basting apples twice with syrup from pan. To serve, drizzle with remaining syrup. Sprinkle with white chocolate.
