Ingredients

  1. In a blender or food processor, whirl gingersnaps and brown sugar to fine crumbs.
  2. With a small, sharp knife, starting from stem ends, cut around cores to about 3/4 of the way through apples; scoop out cores with a spoon, making a 1 1/2-inch-wide cavity and leaving bases intact. Set apples slightly apart in a shallow 2- to 3-quart baking dish.
  3. Spoon 1 tablespoon gingersnap mixture into each cavity and top with 1/2 tablespoon butter.
  4. Sprinkle apples evenly with remaining gingersnap mixture.
