Baked Apples with Nut Filling.

l was present the other day while a
friend was preparing apples to bake in
an unusual way, to me, at least.
The apples were first pared and the
cores removed; they were then filled
with sugar and English walnut meats,
sprinkled with cinnamon and baked.
Served in dainty sauce dishes, with
cream, they make very agreeable
change from the ordinary baked apple.
The apples were sweet ones.
My friend informed me that they were
delicious served with whipped cream.
She sometimes uses dates for filling; in
this case not quite SO much sugar is re-
quired. Sour apples do not lend them
selves so readily to this treatment, owing
to their propensity to fall to pieces dur
ing the baking process.
