Loved the ginger! Had some ginger crumbs from my last making of crystalized ginger, which was perfect for this. I had mine with ice cream, and my sister used whipped cream. I used a Cameo and a Jonagold. Will try this again with two other apple varities, to see which one I like best. Thnx so much, mikekey, for posting. Made for Comfort Cafe Summer 2009.

This was delicious! We loved the combination of the apple with crystallized ginger. Very easy to make and everyone enjoyed. I forgot to pick up some vanilla ice cream as I thought it would go well with this, but was still delicious without. Thanks for posting! ~Sue

An interesting new way to make something old-fashioned. I baked mine for 30 minutes and my DH enjoyed it but said it wasn't quite done so next time I will use the 40 minutes. Made for the Summer Comfort Cafe.

I have unpleasant memories of the baked apples my grandmother used to serve us, so I was a bit trepidatious going into this. This dish really changed that! Grandma always used Red Delicious apples - ick, I used a nice Granny Smith. I don't have an apple corer but my PC strawberry huller did a great job of scooping out the middle. I should have leveled the bottom of the apple as it had a tilt and the good stuff kept spilling over that way. I added a little cinnamon to the butter mix; one change I would make for me is to cut the ginger in large slivers , I liked the flavor but not chewing on the bits, slivers could easily be avoided. I cut this down to one serving and at first I thought there might be too much of the syrup but it was perfect. I enjoyed this for breakfast and it already being warm and humid with temps later around 90, I wasn't turning on the oven for 40 minutes, so into the microwave it went, 6 minutes were perfect. I thought it might brown in the broiler but even after 3 minutes all it did was bubble - it didn't matter it looked at tasted delicious. Thanks Mike for another great recipe!
