6 lg. baking apples
6 tbsp. sugar
2 tbsp. butter
Cinnamon, as desired
1/2 c. water

Wash and core apples. Pare apples 1/3 of the way down or slit the skin around the apple about 1/2 way down. Place apples in a baking dish. Put sugar and butter in the center of each apple. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Pour the water around apples to prevent sticking. Bake uncovered at 400 degrees (hot oven) until tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
