Ask a question about this stepPeel apples; slice the “cheeks” off of the cores, and discard cores. Slice apples into 1/4-inch slices, place in an 8×6-inch (or similar) baking dish, and toss with lemon juice and maple syrup. Taste a slice, and see if it tastes sweet enough; if not, add a bit more maple syrup. Set aside.

Island Creek Oysters is one of the largest purveyors of oysters and clams in the U.S.
This is a terrific recipe. (I'd probably use local just-picked Pink Ladies, though, which have become my apple of choice for this kind of dessert.) Saved!!! ;o)
