Golden delicious apples
1 lb. pitted dates
2 cinnamon sticks
Orange juice

Peel and core apples; cut into thick slices. Fill a six quart pot with apple slices. A glass pot or casserole dish works best. Slice dates and add to apples. Bury 2 cinnamon sticks among the apples and dates. Pour in enough orange juice to make about 2 inches liquid. Cook slowly on stovetop or bake in 350 degree oven until apples are tender, approximately 30 minutes. Stir occasionally during cooking. Serve hot.
