Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 4 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts
- 0.5 cup raisins
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup hot water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Using a paring knife or an apple corer, carefully remove the cores from the apples, leaving the bottom 1/2 inch of the apple intact to contain the filling.
In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, chopped walnuts, and raisins.
Stuff each apple with the sugar-nut mixture, packing it tightly.
Place the stuffed apples in a baking dish.
Cut the butter into 4 small pieces and place one on top of each stuffed apple.
Pour the hot water into the baking dish around the apples.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the apples are tender when pierced with a fork.
Carefully remove from the oven and let them cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
