Baked Apples

So I ran into Walmart yesterday morning on my way to work and apples were on sale for just $.75 per pound. WOW! That's a deal. I am not one to usually make a lot of desserts because I usually don't have the time and second they are usually expensive to make. However with apples this inexpensive, any budget can afford a dish of baked apples. Your home will smell AMAZING while these are in the oven.

Baked Apples

6 apples, peeled, cored and sliced

1/2 cup white sugar

3 TBS all-purpsoe flour

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1/4 tsp cloves

1/2 cup raisins (optional)

1/2 cup walnuts, chopped

1/2 cup milk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 2 quart casserole dish with cooking spray or butter. Place apples in large bowl. In a small bowl mix together sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Put spice mixture into a large ziploc bag and add apples. Shake to coat all the apples evenly with spice mixture. Add raisins and waluts. Pour into prepared dish. Pour milk over apple mixture. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes or until soft and bubbly. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Variations:
