* A large, firm, tart apple is best. Use Ida Red or Northern Spy. A Cortland can be used. However, if you use a McIntosh, you must shorten the cooking time. Core apples and remove top inch of peel. Make a shallow out through skin around centre of each apple to prevent skin from bursting. Place apples upright in baking dish or pie plate. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, raisins, cinnamon and nutmeg. Spoon into centres of each apple. Add water to cover bottom of dish. Bake, uncovered in 375 F for 25 to 30 minutes for less firm apples and up to 50 minutes for firm varieties or until apples are tender when pierced with a toothpick. Combine the yogurt and maple syrup to make the sauce. Pour over the baked apples. From The Gazette, 91/03/06.
