Another great recipe

Hey all. With the colder weather coming and all the great apples available, I thought it was appropriate to put together an apple recipe. Here is one of my favorites. If you love apples, give it a try.It is for baked apples. A simple dessert and oh so good. I do not use any rum and instead of currents, I use raisins. It is easy to prepare as well. Give it a try and let me know what you think.
I found this recipe on the food network site. They have some awesome recipes there.
6 large red baking apples like Rome Beauty, Cortland, or Gala
Juice and finely grated zest of 1 lemon
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
3 packed tablespoons dark brown sugar
1/4 cup dried currants
1/4 cup broken walnut pieces, toasted
Six 3-inch whole cinnamon sticks
1/2 cup apple cider
1/2 cup dark rum, cider, or water
Serving suggestions: Whipped cream, or vanilla or cinnamon ice cream

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Slice off about 1/4-inch of the top of each apple. (The apple tops are perfect for snacking.) Scoop out the seeds and core of the apple with a melon-baller to make a pocket. Peel off about a 1/2-inch band of the apple's skin along the upper half of the apple with a vegetable peeler. Brush the peeled part and the interior of the apple with lemon juice.

In a small mixing bowl, combine the butter, lemon zest, and sugar. Add the currants and nuts. Place some of the butter mixture and a cinnamon stick in each of the apples. Place the apples in an ovenproof baking dish just large enough to hold the apples upright. Pour in the cider and rum, bake until the apple is tender, about 30 minutes. Baste the apples with the cider/rum mixture with a bulb baster, 2 or 3 times, during baking
