Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Wash and core the apples, creating a small well in the center while ensuring the bottom remains intact.
In a mixing bowl, combine the raisins, chopped walnuts, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.
Stuff each apple with the raisin and walnut mixture, pressing it down gently to fill the space.
Place the stuffed apples upright in a baking dish.
In a separate bowl, mix the unsweetened apple juice and vanilla extract together.
Pour the apple juice mixture over the apples and into the baking dish.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the apples are tender.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Serve warm for best flavor.
