Core apples; pare top quarter of each. Combine dates, walnuts, and orange
peel. Place apples in a loaf pan or two
10-ounce glass baking dishes. Fill centers with date mixture. In saucepan, combine remaining
ingredients. Bring to boil; pour around apples. Bake, uncovered, in moderate oven
(350) for 60-90 minutes or till apples are done. Baste occasionally with sauce.
