Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
6 lg Golden Delicious apples
1/2 c *each* raisins and chopped walnuts
1/2 c Firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 c Water
1/4 c (1/2 stick) butter/margarine
1/2 t *each* ground cinnamon and ground nutmeg
6 Wiggly candy worms ("Gummy Worms")
1 c Whipping cream -- optional

Instructions:
Core apples from blossom ends, leaving stem ends intact. Mix raisins
and walnuts and stuff into cavities of cored apples. Set apples,
stems up in a 7x12-inch pan.

In a 1 to 2 quart pan, mix brown sugar, water, butter,cinnamon, and
nutmeg; stir over high heat until mixture boils. Pour hot syrup
around apples. Bake, uncovered, in 350~ oven, basting occasionally
with syrup, until apples are tender when pierced and skin begins to
crack, 30 to 35 minutes.

Remove apples from oven; cool in pan at least 10 minutes or let cool
to room temperature. Set each apple in a small bowl and spoon syrup
around fruit. In the top of each apple, cut a hole large enough for
one of the candy worms and tuck one end into each apple, leaving most
of the worm dangling. Offer cream to pour over apples. Makes 6
ghastly servings.
