   6      lg            Golden Delicious, Ida Red or Rome Apples
     1/4  c             walnuts -- chopped
     1/4  c             packed brown sugar
   2      tbsp          stick butter -- softened
     1/2  tsp           ground cinnamon
     1/4  c             dark rum or apple cider or juice
     1/4  c             honey
   1      tbsp          fresh lemon juice
   1      tbsp          minced crystallized ginger

Heat oven to 350°.  Have ready a 13x9x2-inch bakind dish or other
shallow 3 1/2 to 4 quart baking dish.

Core apples without cutting through to bottom, making a cavity about 1
inch wide.  Using a vegetable peeler, peel apples halfway down.  Put
walnuts, brown sugar, butter and cinnamon in small bowl and stir until
blended.  Stuff mixture into apple cavities.  Spoon 1/2 tsp rum over
filling in each apple.

Place apples in baking dish.  Put remaining rum, the honey, lemon juice
and ginger in a small bowl and whisk until blended.  Drizzle over and
around apples.  

Bake, basting apples with pan juice a few times, until apples are tender
when pierced with a knife, 45-55 minutes.  Serve warm or at room
temperature.
