Ingredients

    • 2 medium apples
    • 5 large marshmallows, 1 quartered, 4 halved crosswise
    • 1 ounce Mexican chocolate, coarsely chopped
    • 2 ounces (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Halve each apple lengthwise. Using a melon baller or grapefruit spoon, scoop out seeds, forming a small crater in center of each half.
