Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

• Lightly butter inside of each apple, cover with its own ''lid'' and bake for about 15 minutes. The apples should not become too soft. Cooking time will depend upon the variety of apple and its size. (The apples may be cooked ahead of time, then covered with aluminum foil until just before serving time.)
• Ten minutes before serving, salt and pepper the beet cubes and saute lightly in butter. Add vinegar, then one minute later, pine nuts and currants.
• Stuff apples with the mixture and put lid in place. Sprinkle lightly with the brown sugar and place under a grill for three or four minutes to caramelize the top.
• Serve immediately.
