Ingredients

2 apples, cored
2-3 teaspoons raisins
2 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons apple juice (you could substitute addtional water for the juice)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Place cored apples in a small baking dish.
Fill the center of each apple with raisins.
In a small bowl, stir the water, cinnamon and apple juice. Pour evenly into the centers of each apple.
Bake for about 55 minutes or until apples are fork tender.
Let cool slightly, remove the skins if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

How to Core an Apple: The easiest way is with an apple corer, but if you don't have one, a small paring knife works too. Just cut around the stem and seeds, then scoop them out with a spoon or melon baller. Be sure to leave the bottom of the apple intact so the filling stays inside while it bakes.
Even Sizes: Try to pick apples that are similar in size so they bake evenly.
Serving Ideas: Top with yogurt, whipped cream, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a cozy dessert.
Save the Syrup: Pour the leftover apple juice syrup over pancakes, oatmeal, or ice cream. It’s lightly spiced and naturally sweet!
Make baby food: After baking, peel the skin and puree the apple and raisins for babies 8-12 months old.
