Instructions: 1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

2. Butter a small glass baking dish with 2 Tbsp. of the butter.

3. Slice 1/4-inch off the bottoms of the apples (so they stand up straight) and core them.

4. Combine the brown sugar, sugar, cinnamon, pecans, and lemon zest in a small bowl and fill the center of each apple with a quarter of the mixture. Dot each apple with the remaining butter.

5. Place the apples in the dish and bake for 30-35 minutes or until soft.

6. Serve with freshly whipped cream, if desired. 1997 Lifetime
