Subject: Savory baked apple recipe request
Hello! Just wondering if you know or can find a savory baked apples recipe.
One of my old friends back in the US had a French exchange student who prepared
this dish with baked Granny Smith apples containing a mixture of ham, onion, bell
pepper, garlic - and I really can't remember what else was in them, just that they
were delicious!
Thanks in advance for any recipe you turn up, and if none, thanks for your efforts!
all the best,
Martha

Hi Martha,
That's why I couldn't find it - I don't speak enough French to know what to look for....
I wonder... Muddy, could you translate that recipe into English and send it to me?
Thanks,
