When you see the Blue Cow Logo on a product, it means it's made with 100% Canadian quality milk that meets some of the highest standards in the world.
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 ºF (180 ºC). Lightly butter a 8-cup (2-L) baking dish.
Core apples, almost to bottom, leaving base intact. Remove additional flesh to make room. Score each apple at the middle. Place in baking dish.
Combine sugar, butter, orange zest, orange juice and cinnamon. Add crushed almonds or amaretti and mix well. Stir in dried fruit and nuts. Stuff apples generously and heat-shield openings with aluminum foil.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until tender. Discard aluminum foil. Serve warm or at room temperature with wedges of Canadian Gouda cheese.
