This cider is so amazing and what better way to highlight the nectar of this fortified cider than with a lovely apple and cinnamon dessert. Longest Light is a tribute to the summer solstice. I can’t wait for Longest Night which pays homage to the solstice in December!

- 1 box (2 rolls) prepared pie dough
Directions:
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
Step 2: Core the apples and set aside.
Step 3: In a small mixing bowl, mix together the oatmeal, brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter. Divide into four portions and stuff each apple with ¼ of the mixture.
Step 4: Remove the dough from the box and unroll each circle. Cut each circle into two pieces.
Step 5: Place one apple on each of the half of the pie crust and work to wrap the apple tightly with the dough.

Step 7: Allow the apples to rest 10 minutes before serving. Cut in half or serve whole with vanilla ice cream.
