   6      lg            Golden Delicious apples
     1/2  c             *each* raisins and chopped walnuts
     1/2  c             Firmly packed brown sugar
     1/4  c             Water
     1/4  c             (1/2 stick) butter/margarine
     1/2  t             *each* ground cinnamon and ground nutmeg
   6                    Wiggly  candy worms ("Gummy Worms")
   1      c             Whipping cream -- optional

Instructions: 

Core apples from blossom ends, leaving stem ends intact. Mix raisins 
  and walnuts and stuff into cavities of cored apples. Set apples, 
  stems up in a 7x12-inch pan. 
 
  In a 1 to 2 quart pan, mix brown sugar, water, butter,cinnamon, and 
  nutmeg; stir over high heat until mixture boils. Pour hot syrup 
  around apples. Bake, uncovered, in 350  oven, basting occasionally 
  with syrup, until apples are tender when pierced and skin begins to 
  crack, 30 to 35 minutes. 
   
  Remove apples from oven; cool in pan at least 10 minutes or let cool 
  to room temperature.  Set each apple in a small bowl and spoon syrup 
  around fruit. In the top of each apple, cut a hole large enough for 
  one of the candy worms and tuck one end into each apple, leaving most 
  of the worm dangling. Offer cream to pour over apples. Makes 6 
  ghastly servings.
