Halloween wormy baked apples
Monday, October 17, 2005Halloween wormy baked apples
6 large Golden Delicious apples
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup firmly-packed brown sugar
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter or margarine
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
6 wiggly candy worms (Gummy worms)
1 cup whipping cream (optional)
Core apples from blossom ends, leaving stem ends intact. Mix raisins and walnuts and then stuff into cavities of cored apples. Set apples, stem up, in a 7 x 12-inch baking pan.
In a 1 or 2-quart pan, mix brown sugar, water, butter, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir over a high heat on the stovetop, until the mixture boils. Pour hot syrup around apples. Bake uncovered in a 350-degree oven, basting occasionally with syrup, until apples are tender when pierced and skin begins to crack, or 30 to 35 minutes.
Remove apples from oven; cool in pan at least 10 minutes or let cool to room temperature. Set each apple in a small bowl and spoon syrup around fruit. In the top of each apple, cut a hole large enough for one of the candy worms and tuck one end into each apple, leaving most of the worm dangling. Pour whipping cream over apples, if desired.
Yield: 6 ghastly servings.

'Quantum of Solace'[movies]
Men have curious ways of getting over a romantic betrayal. Some try avoidance. Some go on the rebound. James Bond's method, as seen in "Quantum of Solace," involves shooting, ducking, running, bleeding, locking dudes in car trunks and the massive destruction of parts of Italy and Bolivia. Obviously Daniel Craig is back as the shoot first, drink cocktails later version of 007 in the follow-up to 2006's "Casino Royale". More »

Amelia's Bistro, Bellbrook, restaurant review [review]
Call it comfort food, gourmet style. From crab raviolis with vanilla lobster sauce, to a hand-cut and brined pork chop served with a fig jam, to a simply "Big-Ass Cake" that's a chocolate lover's dream, Amelia's has the potential to become a destination restaurant — worth the drive to Bellbrook.
