What kind of bread would JB have used?
His mom’s currant bread would be nice, I think.

Nancy – thanks. simple is stunning.

rach – I think you will take delight in this preparation.

Michelle – the crisper the apple, the less chance of explosion – yet there’s that fine line.

Ruth – What a wonderful menu theme. I’ve been feeling nostalgic for so many of these solid classics.

I have always loved baked apples and cream so, I got a kick out of seeing your entry – Bistro 185 has been doing a series of menus inspired from James Beard as a tribute to American Icons in Food. We are having a lot of fun with it and our customers are really enjoying the entrees.

I tried baking apples and they all exploded. I still ate them though. but not with as much savoring as I would if they looked as amazing as this one does!

I am very very fond of baked apples, we used to have them for pudding after sunday lunch, warm with very cold cream.
I am going to make these.
The bread underneath is inspired.
