Review of last recipe (photo above) - It was quite delicious, but alot of prep work and not much could be done in advance... the reason I wouldn't make it again.

TODAY'S RECIPE - BAKED APPLES STUFFED WITH SPICED AND SPIKED
                                                      CREAM CHEESE

Serves 6

6 McIntosh apples, washed and cored
6 tsp sugar
8 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
5 tbsp firmly packed light brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp Triple Sec
1/2 tsp spice mixure

Spice mixture (makes 2 1/4 tsp):
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground cloves

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.  Grease 12" baking dish.  Cut four 1" vertical slits around center of each apple to prevent bursting.  Arrange apples in prepared dish.  Sprinkle 1 tsp sugar over each apple.  Bake until tender, basting occasionally with juices in dish; about 1 hour.

Beat cream cheese, brown sugar, Triple Sec, and spice mixture in medium bowl until smooth.  Spoon evenly into the center of each baked apple and serve immediately.
