(If you don't want the serving so big you can cut the apples in half). Sprinkle Cinnamon and Sugar in them and wrap them in pie dough. Put them in a pan. Over the stove stir 2 c. brown sugar and 1 c. water and some cinnamon until bubbly, pour over apples. Bake 50-80 minutes ad 425F. (This depends on the pie dough, you don't want it raw at all or it tastes gross, so for whole apples longer, smaller apples shorter. )
