another recipe and a story
Vanilla Poached Apples (from Moosewood Restaurant's Book of Desserts.)
3 apples, peeled, cored and halved
2 cups apple juice
1/2 cup sugar
1 vanilla bean (or 1 tsp vanilla extract).
Preheat oven to 375F. Place apples, cut side down, in a baking dish. Combine apple juice, sugar and vanilla; pour over apples. Cover and bake for 45-50 minutes until soft but not mushy.
The original recipe had you removing the apples, adding an extra tsp of vanilla extract to the juice mixture (if you used the extract) and boiling that until reduced by half. I am impatient. So I served it with pumpkin gelato and a small amount of nutmeg on top and didn't bother with the syrup.
The child likes it so much that he keeps wandering wistfully over to the table and asking for more. Unfortunately, it's gone. :-D It took me five minutes to convince him it was 'all gone'.

...don't blame the child. I'd want more.
