Wormy Baked Apples

6 lg Golden Delicious apples

1/2 c *each* raisins and chopped walnuts

1/2 c Firmly packed brown sugar

1/4 c Water

1/4 c (1/2 stick) butter/margarine

1/2 t *each* ground cinnamon and ground nutmeg

6 Wiggly candy worms ("Gummy Worms")

1 c Whipping cream -- optional

Instructions: Core apples from blossom ends, leaving stem ends intact. Mix raisins and walnuts and stuff into cavities of cored apples. Set apples, stems up in a 7x12-inch pan. In a 1 to 2 quart pan, mix brown sugar, water, butter,cinnamon, and nutmeg; stir over high heat until mixture boils. Pour hot syrup around apples. Bake, uncovered, in 350~ oven, basting occasionally with syrup, until apples are tender when pierced and skin begins to crack, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove apples from oven; cool in pan at least 10 minutes or let cool to room temperature. Set each apple in a small bowl and spoon syrup around fruit. In the top of each apple, cut a hole large enough for one of the candy worms and tuck one end into each apple, leaving most of the worm dangling. Offer cream to pour over apples. Makes 6 ghastly servings.
