Louise's Baked Apples
This is a super simple, comforting dessert that my grandma used to make for me when I was little. We spent a lot of time together. Both of my parents worked, so she often picked me up from school and I loved spending the night on the weekends.
The weekend sleep overs is when this dessert would make an appearance. My grandma had a McIntosh apple with her every where she went. I’m not exaggerating. That woman loved McIntosh apples! She had them in her car, on her desk at the store (my family’s small business). at home.
I have such fond memories of her placing several McIntoshes in a casserole dish, baking the apples, then pouring cream over them before we dug in.
I hope this recipe might transport you back in time to a wonderful memory. The warm spices and sweet raisins make this the perfect way to cap off the night.

Ep. 06 - When Walking Away Means Walking Towards Something Bigger with Cyndi Thomson
A teacher of mine once told me, “To the extent you experience darkness, you will have the capacity to experience that same degree of light.”
Have you ever heard something like that?
Well, let me tell ya, Mary Helen Yarbrough is no stranger to darkness. She experienced profound losses in her teen and young adult years that sent her life into a spiral.
So, maybe that explains why she is one of the most authentically positive and inspirational people in my life (and in many others’ lives, as well).
In Episode 5 of Happiest Hour, we don’t hold back. Mary Helen tells her story of loss and pain, as well as sharing her life philosophy that makes her life tick, and so much more.
