       Title: BAKED APPLES WITH APRICOT AND WALNUT FILLING
  Categories: Desserts
       Yield: 2 servings
  
     1/4 c  Apricots;dried, firmly
            -packed, chopped
     1/4 c  Walnuts; chopped
     1/4 c  Light brown sugar; packed
       1 tb Unsalted butter; softened
       2    Granny Smith apples
     1/4 c  Orange juice; fresh
  
    In a small bowl combine well the apricots, the
   walnuts, the brown sugar, and the butter. Core the
   apples, making each opening large enough to hold half
   the apricot mixture, peel the top third of each apple,
   and fill the cavities with the apricot mixture.
   Arrange the apples in a deep 2 1/2-quart
   microwave-safe baking dish so that they do not touch
   one another or the sides of the dish, pour the orange
   juice around them, and microwave the apples on high
   power (lOO%), covered with micro wave-safe plastic
   wrap, for 7 minutes. Pierce the plastic wrap with the
   tip of a sharp knife and let the apples stand covered,
   for 5 minutes, or until they are tender.
