4 lg. red apples, cored
2 tbsp. butter, softened
4 tsp. sugar
1/4 c. red burgundy
1 cinnamon stick
4 lemon slices

Place apples in a saucepan and cover with water. Cover the saucepan and boil apples for 5 minutes. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Transfer apples to a small oven dish, just large enough to hold the apples.

Make a mixture of the butter, sugar and wine. Pour the mixture into the hollows and over the apples. Pour a few tablespoons of water into the bottom of the dish, break up the cinnamon stick and add it to the dish. Add lemon slices. Bake for 40 minutes, basting several times during baking.
