Spring is not far away and thoughts of blooming flowers, gardens growing, and sweet fruits on the vine fill my mind and heart.  I want some fruit now, though!  What’s available while I wait for spring?  Apples and raisins!  So I’ve come up with a recipe that will satisfy my stomach, keep the weight off, and delight my mind and senses with tastes of the orchard.<\/p>\n

Dr. Norris Chumley’s Baked Apple Supreme<\/u>
Serves 4<\/p>\n

4 apples (any kind will do)
\u00be cup of raisins (try golden or the extra-large kind)
1 pat butter (or a small tablespoon, optional)
sprinkle of cinnamon
sprinkle of cardamom, clove or cumin
ginger: freshly grated, or dried – about a teaspoon
dash of sweet wine or cooking wine (optional)<\/p>\n

Soak the raisins in boiling water for 5-10 minutes until they get very plump.  While they’re soaking, preheat your oven to 350 degrees, split the apples vertically, and gently core out the seeds and stems with a pairing knife, making troughs to be filled in a moment.  Leave the peels on. Place the prepared apples in a small baking dish that has a lid, and put about 1\/4cup of water in the bottom, to keep things moist.<\/p>\n

Once the raisins are really swollen, drain them and spoon them into and over the apples.  Place \u00bc pat of butter on each one.  Sprinkle with ground cinnamon, and whatever spice you have on hand or are in the mood for – try something a little exotic, perhaps some cardamom, clove or cumin along with the cinnamon.  Top it off with a quick dash of cooking wine and a shot of ginger on top.<\/p>\n

Cover and bake for half an hour.  Remove from oven and let stand for 10 minutes, covered before serving.   Say a prayer, thanking God for the bounty of the harvest.<\/p>\n

____________<\/p>\n

This is a great dessert to serve anytime, year round.  It has no sugar or sweetener whatsoever, other than the sweetness of the natural fruit.  If you want it to be entirely fat-free, skip the little dot of butter.<\/p>\n
