    4                    Dessert apples
    2       oz           Brown sugar
    2       oz           Raisins
                         Cinnamon to taste
    1                    Beaten egg
      1/2   pt           Cream, whipped
    1       pk           Puff pastry (12 oz)

   (Inspired by James Joyce's "Ulysses")

   Preheat the oven to 400'F. Peel and core the apples. Stuff the centers
   with a mixture of brown sugar, raisins and cinnamon. Roll out the
   pastry and cut out 4 circles approximately 8" in diameter, depending
   on the size of the apples. Place an apple in the center of the pastry
   circle and brush the edge with beaten egg; draw up the pastry to
   enfold the apple, pressing the edges firmly to seal. Brush the tops
   of the pastry parcels with the remaining egg to glaze. Bake in a
   shallow ovenproof dish for 40 minutes. Serve with whipped cream.
