Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
Wash the apples thoroughly and cut out the cores, creating a hollow well in the center of each apple. Be careful not to cut all the way through to the bottom.
In a small bowl, mix the unsweetened applesauce, fat-free Greek yogurt, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and raisins (if using). Optionally, stir in honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness.
Place the cored apples in a baking dish. Fill each apple with the creamy applesauce and yogurt mixture until the wells are full.
Pour the 1 cup of water into the base of the baking dish to create steam, which will help soften the apples as they bake.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the apples are tender. The cooking time may vary depending on the size of the apples.
Remove the apples from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Serve warm and enjoy the creamy, naturally sweet flavor.
