These apples are almost a meal in themselves. Scoop out the apple core; then the flesh -leaving only 1/4-inch thickness of the apple shell and then stuff with this wonderful filling and bake until the apple skin is wrinkled and the filling is bubbly. Serve with some of the rum drippings and a scoop of vanilla ice cream! Oh my,oh my! What a treat.. Photos from ifood and my kitchen.

Pour melted butter evenly over mixture in apples.

Cover or tent apples with foil the first 20 minutes of baking.Then remove foil to finish the baking.
