Answer 1

Apple Fritters

1 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup cold beer (not dark)
10 cups vegetable oil
2 apples (1 pound), peeled, halved lengthwise, cored, and sliced 1/4-inch thick
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Stir together flour, granulated sugar, and salt, then add beer, and whisk to combine. Heat oil in a 5-quart heavy pot until the thermometer registers 375 degrees F.
Dip apple slices in batter, shaking off excess, and fry, about 8 at a time, until golden, about 1 1/2 minutes on each side. Transfer fritters with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Serve warm, dusted with confectioners' sugar.

Pecan-and-Dried Fruit Baked Apples

1/4 cup chopped pecans
6 large Gala or Rome apples, cored
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons butter, softened and divided
1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

2 tablespoons rum (optional)
Garnishes: whipped cream, toasted pecans

Place pecans on a baking sheet, and bake at 350° for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown, stirring once. Set pecans aside.

Combine 1 tablespoon butter, raisins, and next 4 ingredients. Stuff mixture evenly into apples, pressing into center of each apple. Top evenly with remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Pour cider, vanilla, and, if desired, rum around apples in pieplate.

Bake at 350° for 1 hour and 20 minutes, basting twice every 30 minutes or until apples are tender. Transfer apples to a serving dish, reserving juices, and keep warm.

Pour juices through a wire-mesh strainer into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes or until mixture is thickened and is syrup consistency. Drizzle over warm apples; garnish, if desired. Serve immediately.

Answer 2

Baked apples. Very yummy, very healthy. Cut the apples in half and cut out the core. Put them cut-side-up in a baking dish or pan. Put a dollop of butter inside each half, and sprinkle them all with honey and cinnamon (and if you wanna get really fancy, you can add cloves, nutmeg, or all spice too :) ). Bake on 350 for 20 minutes or so - until the apples are cooked through, and soft but not soggy.

Enjoy!
