I Gave a $1.00 at GW....

[CDLaine]

Then I found out from the "non-collectible" file that this is neither
collectible nor vintage. Oh well... they had it for $3.99 but the cashier
only charged $1.00. I believe this is (unmarked) a John Wright cast
iron (Wrightsville, Pa.) enamelled 2 apple baking dish. One flea bite
on the leading edge.

So, just for a trial run...I cored 2 Gala apples, stuffed them on the spit,
sprinkled on brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and added a generous dollop
of butter to each. Oven bake at pre-heated 350 degrees for 30 min. ... will do
five minutes longer next time as I prefer softer. The house smells like
Granny's country kitchen !

I bought this because, I've never seen one, and, seemed like it was about
time I tried some baked apples. Also, I liked the price. :icon_thumbsup:

Sean...

I honestly had never seen one before... that drew my interest. Nice functional
design,...the "au jous" collects in the bottom then just pour back over the apple
when served. Next time (see below) i will peel the top third of the apple before
I add the goodness.

The bottom of this article has a recipe.... walnuts & raisins.... sounds good to
me.
