"Apples are everywhere right now, but they add juicy flavors to our menus year round. As the weather cools, we move from crisp apple salads to the warming touch of baked apples as a side dish to complement pork and ham. This is a recent favorite which intrigues us with its lemon/honey flavor and light touch of butter. The smaller portion size makes it an excellent side dish or buffet serving. For hints of apple pie, add a touch of cinnamon and nutmeg. For an exceptional taste contrast, top the warm apples with 1 to 2 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese or grated extra sharp cheddar."
