FabulousFoods.com Recommends: Very Cranberry (Very), by Jennifer Trainer Thompson, (2003, Celestial Arts)

Very Cranberry (Very)

Servings:	6
Author Notes:	This recipe comes to us from New Brunswick's Pansy Patch Bed and Breakfast Inn, which looks like the perfect fantasy English Garden Cottage. At the Pansy Patch, they serve this dessert, which manages to be both sweet and tart, with a rich vanilla sauce. This recipe is a great way to use up leftover cranberry sauce after Thanksgiving. Follow this link to learn more about New Brunswick, it's regional cuisine, and for more regional cuisine recipes.
Ingredients:	6 baking medium baking apples (most any variety with the exception of Macintosh will do) 1 cup cranberry sauce 4 sheets phyllo pastry 1/4 cup melted butter Vanilla Sauce: 1 cup heavy cream 1/2 cup confectioner's sugar 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 1 tablespoon cornstarch (mixed with 1 teaspoon cold water)
Instructions:	Preheat oven to 375Â° F. Core the apples and score the skin around them. Loosely fill the apple cavities with cranberry sauce. Brush each sheet of phyllo with melted butter, then cut each sheet into 6 equal squares. Place one apple on a phyllo square and fold the pastry up and around the apple. Turn the apple upside down and place the second square of pastry on and around the apple. Return the apple to its upright position and place on remaining 2 squares of pastry. fold pastry corner-to-corner and twist the top to seal. Repeat the procedure with the remaining apples. Place apples on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 20-30 minutes (length of time will depend upon type of apple used). Test for doneness with a toothpick: if toothpick goes in smoothly, apple is cooked. To serve, place apple on a dessert plate garnished with vanilla sauce. Vanilla Sauce Whisk together cream, sugar, vanilla and cornstarch mixture until smooth. Heat in the top of a double boiler over hot water, Whisking constantly until mixture thickens. Remove from heat, cover with plastic wrap and chill. Yields 1 cup.
