Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
dough:
1 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbl butter
1 tbl shortening
1/4 cup apple juice or apple cider
filling:
4 tbl butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup crushed gingersnaps
1/4 cup ground pecans
1 tbl Grand Mariner
1 tsp cinnamon


Mix flour, cinnamon, salt, butter and shortening until a crumbly mixture forms.
Add in the juice slowly, until a smooth dough forms.
Melt butter, and mix the rest of the ingredients into it.

Putting it all together: Core 3/4 of an apple (preferably a Granny Smith)
making
sure that there is plenty of room for the filling. Roll out the dough, the
thinner the better. Wrap dough around the apple. Squeeze off the excess and
create leaves for the top of the apple with the extra. Bake at 350 degrees for
approximately 20 minutes until dough becomes a light to golden brown. It will
not get too dark so definitely keep checking on it.

The dough recipe should yield enough for two apples. To make a stem for the
apple use a small piece of cinnamon stick
