You’ll Need:

4 medium cooking apples
1/4 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)
1/4 cup golden raisins
1 tsp honey
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1 cup water
1 cup honey
1 tsp lemon juice
1 cinnamon stick
whipped cream, optional

Directions : Core apples, being careful not to cut through bottom. Pare 1/2 inch
at the stem end.

Combine raisins and walnuts, if used, and 1 tsp honey with the
ground cinnamon and ground cloves. Fill the center of the apples
with this mixture. Place the apples in a 8″ by 8″ baking pan.

In a small saucepan combine water, honey, lemon juice and cinnamon
stick and bring to a boil. Simmer for 2 minutes. Remove cinnamon
stick and pour syrup over apples. Bake in a preheated 375 oven
until tender, about 45 minutes, basting occasionally with syrup
from the pan. Serve warm or cold, with whipped cream if desired
