These striking baked apples, stuffed with millet and sweet raisins, make a beautiful breakfast alongside veggie sausage and whole wheat pancakes or waffles. For a dessert treat, serve à la mode or take to the Rosh Hashanah table with an added drizzle of honey.

Method
Preheat the oven to 350F.
Cut 1/2-inch off the top of each apple and reserve.
Using a paring knife and spoon, core and hollow out each apple, leaving 1/2-inch of flesh around the sides and bottom. (Note: Avoid poking holes in the apples, or cutting through the bottom, since that will cause the apple juice to leak out later.)
Arrange apples in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a medium bowl, stir together raisins, millet and lemon juice and zest.
Divide millet mixture among apples, pour 3 tablespoons apple juice into each apple and arrange reserved apple tops on each.
Cover the dish snugly with foil and bake until apples are very tender and millet has absorbed all the liquid, 45 to 50 minutes.
Serve warm, or make ahead and serve cold.
