25 Jan, Baked Apples (Mele al forno)

Today is a chilly, cool day.  These are so easy to make and the air is filled with a wonderful aroma.

Preheat oven to 400F. Cut apples in half and core, using a melon ball tool. Place a crispy amaretti cookie and a dab of butter into each cavity. Top with juice of fresh oranges. Bake until tender, about 40 minutes.  Serve warm, with a spoonful of yogurt or crème fraîche.
