Instructions:

Wormy Apples

6 large Golden Delicious apples
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
6 gummy worms

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 7 x 12 inch pan.

In a large saucepan, mix brown sugar, water, butter, cinnamon and nutmeg; stir over high heat until mixture boils.

Pour hot syrup around apples. Bake, uncovered, in a 350 degree oven, basting occasionally with syrup, until apples are tender when pierced and skin begins to crack, 30 to 35 minutes.

Remove from oven, cool in pan at least 10 minutes or 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. Pass cream to pour over apples.
