Baked Apples

I cannot describe how good my home smelled last night. I love when my mother comes to visit! After the chicken-veggie dish, we had this for dessert!

The recipe listed a few kinds of apples that would work best, such as Granny Smiths.  These are commonly used for baking but because there is no sugar in this recipe we found that they were pretty tart. However, I liked the tartness combined with the sweet raisins. So find a kind you like best and enjoy!

2 tablespoons raisins
2 tablespoons chopped raw walnuts
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 small apples, peeled and cored

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine raisins, walnuts, and cinnamon in a small bowl and mix thoroughly. Evenly divide the raisin mixture into four portions and stuff into hollows of apples. Place upright in glass or ceramic baking dish and add 1 inch of water. Bake for thirty to forty minutes. Apples are done when soft and easily pierced with a fork. Cool for five minutes before serving.
