cheese over the mushrooms and scatter tomatoes over all. Add a grinding of
black pepper and serve.

Categories: Desserts, Fruits
Yield: 1 servings

4 lg Firm Apples
1 c Maple syrup
1/2 c Water
1 tb Butter
1 ts All-purpose flour
1/2 c Light cream or
-half-and-half
-Pare and core apples.

In a saucepan, combine the syrup and water. Bring to a boil and simmer 3
minutes. Add the apples and cover. Simmer until the apples are tender but
not mushy, 3 to 8 minutes. With slotted spoon, lift the apples onto
individual dessert dihes or plates. Boil syrup until reduced to 3/4 cup.
Pour syrup into a measuring cup. melt butter in the saucepan. Blend in the
flour, cream and the syrup. Boil, uncovered, until reduced to 1 cup, about
3 minutes. Serve warm, or at room temperature. *NOTE- Because the apples
are pared before cooking, they will cook very quickly. Certain varieties
might even get mushy all of a sudden. Watch them VERY carefully while
cooking; it just takes minutes. This dessert is delicious and beatiful when
you serve one whole apple on a plate surrounded with the maple-and-cream
sauce. Recipe From:Great Old-Fashioned American Desserts Copyright 1987 by
