Recipe Ingredients

6		Apples - peeled and cored
		Lemon juice
1/2 cup	99g / 3.5oz	White sugar - approx
1 teaspoon	5ml	Cinnamon
		Brown sugar
		Butter
2		Pie pastry for 2 pies
		Sugar Sauce
2 cups	474ml	Water
3/4 cup	148g / 5.2oz	Sugar
2 teaspoons	10ml	Vanilla
2 tablespoons	30ml	Butter
1/4 teaspoon	1.3ml	Nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon	1.3ml	Mace

Recipe Instructions

Roll out pastry and cut into squares enough to cover apples completely.  Peel and core apples. Roll in lemon juice.  Then roll in white sugar and cinnamon combined.  Place on pastry square. Stuff core cavity with brown sugar, butter, brown sugar in equal parts.  (The amount depends on size of core cavity, just stuff full.)

Fold pastry up around apple to completely enclose it.  Place in pan.  Prepare sugar sauce by mixing water, sugar, vanilla, butter, nutmeg, and mace and boiling for 1 minute.

Hints

Apples may be frozen in pastry (before sugar sauce is added) if desired. Good dessert to make ahead if you have lots of apples around. Just let thaw when ready to use, and cover with sugar sauce and bake as usual.
