4 md Green apples                      1/2 C  Brown sugar
-(crispy, tart;                     3 T  Butter (grate if cold)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Butter a deep baking dish that has a lid.
Core the apples but do not peel them. Arrange them in the dish. Cut
apples to fit, if necessary.

Combine all remaining ingredients in bowl. Mix well (this is where grating
the butter comes in handy). Stuff this mixture into the holes and spaces
in and between the apples.

vanilla ice cream (spoon extra sauce over ice cream).

NOTES:

* A quick substitute for apple pie.

* Grind the cinnamon stick and allspice berries with a coffee grinder;
makes interesting coffee afterwards. Alternative: Use about 1 1/4 t
powdered cinnamon and 1/2 t allspice.
