    Baked Apple recipe?

    hi everyone- I'm looking for a baked apple recipe - the kind with the dough around the apple. My mom used to make these when I was growing up and it's not in her hand-written cookbook. I found one online that sounds similar, but was curious if any of you had a tried and true recipe. Thanks!
