Baked Apple from 10/4 Menu

Ingredients:
1 apple (not granny smith unless you want apple sauce)
1 tbs of brown sugar
1/4 cup white wine
pinch cinnamon or allspice
pinch salt

Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350. Core apple leaving bottom intact. Mix cinnamon, brown sugar,* and salt and pack into the cavity. Bake covered with tin foil for one hour. Let cool for a bit and top with whipped cream.** Pour a tablespoon of the juices in the baking dish on top. (I thought briefly about reducing the juices to make a syrup and I might do that next time.)

*Did you know that brown sugar is just white sugar mixed well with a dollop of molasses? And if you mix it to order, you'll never have to deal with that brick in a box you chip away at every time you need brown sugar. Add less molasses to make light and more to make dark sugar.

**Whipped cream is just heavy cream whipped til it forms peaks (5 minutes give or take on hi). I don't add sugar because chances are the dessert is always sweet enough without it; add a dash of salt for character.
