                        Dough:
   1      c             All purpose flour
   1      ts            Cinnamon
     1/4  ts            Salt
   2      tb            Butter
   1      tb            Shortening
     1/4  c             Apple juice or apple cider
                        Filling:
   4      tb            Butter
     1/4  c             Brown sugar
     1/2  c             Gingersnaps -- crushed
     1/4  c             Pecans -- ground
   1      tb            Grand Mariner
   1      ts            Cinnamon

Mix flour, cinnamon, salt, butter, and shortening until a crumbly
mixture forms. Add in the juice slowly, until a smooth dough forms.
Melt butter, and mix the rest of the ingredients into it.

Putting It All Together:

Core 3/4 of an apple (preferably a Granny Smith) making sure that
there is plenty of room for the filling. Roll out the dough, the
thinner the better. Wrap dough around the apple. Squeeze off the
excess and create leaves for the top of the apple with the extra.
Bake at 350 F for approximately 20 minutes until dough becomes a
light to golden brown. It will not get too dark so definitely keep
checking on it.

The dough recipe should yield enough for two apples. To make a stem
for the apple use a small piece of cinnamon stick

Serve with Creme Anglaise.
