Preparation:

Step 1
• Preheat oven to 190°C.
Step 2
• Wash the apples and core them, leaving enough core at the base of the apple to hold the filling.
Step 3
• Combine butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped pecans in a small bowl. Form the mixture into cylindrical shapes and press them into each apple to fill the center.
Step 4
• Fill a 2-quart baking dish with about 3/4 cup water, or enough to cover the bottom of the dish. Stand the apples upright in the dish. Bake until the apples are tender and the filling is golden brown, 1 hour.
