Blushing Apples image

The first time I tasted this dish was decades ago, at a Girl Scout dinner. The individual red apples, arranged on the banquet table, were beautiful and so appealing to little girls. Since then, this has been one of my special-occasion recipes. I especially like to make it at Christmastime. -Marion Tarkington, Lexington, North Carolina
