Cinnamon, Sugar and Raisins Stuffed Baked Apples

Wanted to make something different with an apple and here it is. Never stuffed and baked an apple before. Source: A website from Google search. Can't remember which one though.

Ingredients:

• 4 medium Gala/Cameo or any baking apples
• 1/2 tbsp Butter, at room temperature

For the Sauce:

• 1/2 tbsp Butter
• 1 Cup Water
• 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

For the fillings:

• 1 tsp Cinnamon powder
• 4 tbsp Brown Sugar, packed
• 1/4 Cup Dry Craisins + Raisins
• 1/4 Cup Walnuts, toasted and crumbled

Procedure:

• Clean and Core the apples to within 1/4th of an inch. ie: Make a cavity for the the filling without going through.
• Peel 1/4" on the top of the apples.
• Half way down apple, thinly score through the skin. Make the score around the entire periphery of apple to help keep apples from splitting in the oven. Apply 1/4th of the 1/2tbsp butter inside the cavities and on the top of the apples. Set aside.

• Mix the filling ingredients and set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Grease a 8" inch square pan or any rectangular pan of similar size with a bit of butter.
• Mix all the ingredients for the sauce and add a tbsp of this sauce inside the apple's cavity.
• Pour the remaining sauce in the baking pan.
• Spoon a tbsp of filling inside each apple's cavity.
• Mix the leftover fillings with the sauce inside the pan.

• Place the apples in the pan and bake at 350 degrees F for 50 minutes to an hour.

Enjoy!
