Broiled Apples in Brown Sugar and Honey Sauce

These apples make a great topping to use for Rosh Hashana celebrations, which center around many traditions, one of which is cooking and baking with honey. Serve them hot as a side dish or as a waffle, pancake or dessert topping.

Ingredients:
Two large cooking or baking apples
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons honey
4 tablespoons brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

Directions:
To prepare apples, core, but do not peel. Remove skin 1/2-inch from each end. Slice apples into rings 1/2-inch thick and lay in a shallow, broiler-proof baking pan which has been coated with butter-flavored vegetable spray.

Melt butter in a saucepan & add honey, brown sugar & cloves. Cook just until mixture is smooth and liquid. Spoon over apple rings and broil at moderate heat for 5 to 10 minutes, or until apple rings are tender. Baste with syrup and serve hot as a side dish or as a waffle, pancake or dessert topping.

Recipe makes four servings, 1/2-cup each.
