3. Prepare the apples by cutting the top third of the apple off. Across the top. Then core the apples. Try not to break the skin!

4. Place them right side up in a baking dish. Add one spoonful or so into each apples cavity.

5. Add wine and butter to the baking dish and cover tightly with foil.

6. Bake until the apples are tender, about 45 minutes. The baking time may vary depending upon apple size.
