Creamy Baked Apples

Peel apples, cut in half and core. Place in a baking dish, cut side up, with about an 1/8 inch of water in the bottom of the dish. Place about 1/2 Tbls. of butter in the center of each apple. Sprinkle generously with cinnamon-sugar. Bake at 350 F for 30-40 minutes or until fork inserts easily. (Turn over about 20 minutes into baking for about 15 minutes, turn back over and fill center with juices in the bottom of the dish, finish baking). Remove from oven and set aside. In saucepan bring flour, sugar and milk to a boil over medium heat (it will be thick) stirring constantly. Remove from heat, add vanilla and stir well. Pour over apples and sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg if you desire. Serve hot or let cool some. If I don't have a lot of time to make these I cut the apples into quarters and just top with butter. OR I use the microwave and omit the water in the bottom of the pan.
