•    1 Cup Holiday Wine
•    1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
•    12 Macintosh Apples
•    1/2 Cup Honey
•    1/2 Stick of Sweet Butter

Bring wine, sugar, honey and butter to a boil in a saucepan. Pour over cored apples. Put a cinnamon stick in the center of each core. Bake in 350ºF oven until fork tender, approx. 1/2 hour. Remove cinnamon stick and serve warm.

• 1 Egg white
• 3/4 Cup Brown Sugar
• 3 Tbsp. Holiday Wine
• 1 Lb. walnut halves or pieces (approx. 4 cups)

1. Preheat oven to 325ºF. Coat a baking pan (best with sides) with cooking spray (PAM).
2. In a large bowl, beat egg white until foamy. Stir in brown sugar, and Holiday Spiced Wine. Add nuts, and stir to coat. Spread evenly onto prepared pan. Sprinkle with a generous amount of white sugar.
3. Bake for 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally careful to avoid burning, until well toasted and coating seems to harden. Remove from oven, and cool completely. Store in an airtight container.

Tip: After you’ve taken the nuts out of the mixing bowl prepare French Toast in it with the remaining egg yolk, a thin slice of bread and a little milk.
