+----------------------*** MAPLE YOGURT SAUCE
***------------------------- * A large, firm, tart apple is best. Use
Ida Red or Northern Spy. A Cortland can be used. However, if you use
a McIntosh, you must shorten the cooking time. Core apples and remove
top inch of peel. Make a shallow out through skin around centre of
each apple to prevent skin from bursting. Place apples upright in
baking dish or pie plate. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar,
raisins, cinnamon and nutmeg. Spoon into centres of each apple. Add
water to cover bottom of dish. Bake, uncovered in 375 F for 25 to 30
minutes for less firm apples and up to 50 minutes for firm varieties
or until apples are tender when pierced with a toothpick. Combine the
yogurt and maple syrup to make the sauce. Pour over the baked apples.
