Directions

Core large baking apples. Pare a third of the way down from stem end. Place each apple on a double thickness of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Fill centers with a mixture of sugar, cinnamon and tapioca. Brush peeled surfaces with light corn syrup and put about 1 tsp. butter on each. Wrap securely with foil. Cook apples 40 to 45 minutes or until they feel soft when gently pressed with gloved thumb.

If you notice a hole in the upper left-hand corner of your Farmers' Almanac, don't return it to the store! That hole isn't a defect; it's a part of history. Starting with the first edition of the Farmers' Almanac in 1818, readers used to nail holes into the corners to hang it up in their homes, barns, and outhouses (to provide both reading material and toilet paper). In 1910, the Almanac's publishers began pre-drilling holes in the corners to make it even easier for readers to keep all of that invaluable information (and paper) handy.
