Cheddar-Stuffed Apples
Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients:
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 1 tablespoon butter or margarine, melted
• 2 cups cubed cinnamon-raisin bread, toasted
• 1 1/4 cups (5 ounces) shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, divided
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon apple pie spice
• 4 Gala or other baking apples, cored and cut in half crosswise
• 1 cup apple cider
Method:
Cook onion in butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until tender. Stir in bread crumbs, 1 cup cheese, and next 3 ingredients.
Spoon stuffing mixture evenly onto apples halves. (Cut a larger cavity in apples, if necessary, to hold stuffing mixture in place) Place apples in a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish; pour cider into dish. Cover and bake at 375 degrees for 28 minutes. Uncover and sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup cheese over apples; bake 2 more minutes or until cheese melts.Winemaster’s Suggestion:Biltmore® Chardonnay Sur Lies
