1. Wash apples and core from stem end to within 1/2 inch from the bottom of the apple.
2. With a vegetable peeler, remove skin from top half of apple, working your way around the apple, rather than up-and-down.
3. For standard oven preparation: Pre-heat oven to 350-F degrees.
4. Place apples, peeled end up, in an 8-inch-square oven-proof baking dish.
5. Add water and apple juice. Evenly distribute one-quarter of the cinnamon, sugar, and butter into the core of each apple.

Kitchen Staff Tips: Before baking or microwaving the apples, fill the cavity where the core used to be with one or more of the following: crushed or chunked pineapple, ripe banana slices, pureed sweet potatoes, shredded carrots, whole blueberries or raspberries, sliced strawberries, peanut butter, a mixture of honey, chopped walnuts, and raisins, or even chocolate chips, and continue to prepare as directed.
13. Finish your presentation with a dollop of freshly whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla or cinnamon ice cream.
