Recipe - Apples In Maple Syrup

4 Apples; halved & cored
One half cup Maple syrup
1 tablespoon Butter; melted
Three fourths cup Water

Such a special treat. Apple seeds were brought from England, but the
wonderful flavor of maple syrup was here waiting for those apples. This is
the legitimate ancestor of the more common baked apple.

Place the apples in a tightly fitting baking dish, cut side up. Mix the
remaining ingredients and pour over the apples. Bake at 350ø, uncovered,
for 1One half to 2 hours, or until the apples are soft and the syrup has
reduced and is fairly thick. Baste 3 or 4 times during the baking process.
