Instructions

1. Boil the sugar with the water, cinnamon and lemon peel for 5 minutes to make the syrup.
2. Peel the apples and remove the cores with an apple corer, leaving them whole.
3. Poach them in the syrup over very low heat, turning them carefully, until tender but not breaking, about 15-20 minutes.
4. Take out the cinnamon and lemon peel and serve them with their syrup. The author likes it clear and bright: if it goes cloudy, strain it.
