Baked Maple Apples

2 large apples – I used Zestra, Cortlands or any good baking apple

1/4 cup Maple Sugar 

1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon ( I used King Arthur Vietnamese Cinnamon)

1 Tablespoon Butter

Carefully remove the core but leave the bottom of the apple intact.  I used a knife to cut the top part out then a spoon to scoop the rest out.

Place apples in a baking dish.

Divide the butter in half and add to each apple.

Mix the Maple Sugar and cinnamon and split equally between the apples.

Bake at 350* for about 25 -35 mins or until the apples are soft all the way through.

Serve warm with  a slice of sharp cheese or vanilla ice cream! Yummy!
