for company. Plus they're easy and
yummy enough for everyone to
enjoy ... often.

1-2 Tbsp. butter or margarine
4 Tbsp. brown sugar
1-2 tsp. cinnamon
3 Tbsp. golden raisins or dried
cherries
4 Tbsp. chopped walnuts or
pecans

Core apples from bottom, almost to
the top, but leaving stem. Cut each
piece of thawed puff pastry into
four pieces to make eight pieces

apples and dough. Bake for 30-
