Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the apples horizontally into 1/2-inch thick rings. Use a small round cookie cutter or knife to remove the cores, creating a hollow center in each ring.
Brush both sides of the apple rings with lemon juice to prevent browning.
In a small bowl, mix the raisins, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Place a spoonful of the raisin mixture into the hollow center of each apple ring, pressing it down gently to ensure it stays in place.
Arrange the stuffed apple rings on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each ring.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the apples are tender but still hold their shape.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Drizzle with honey or maple syrup if desired.
Serve warm as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.
