Here’s a sweet way to get your apple a day. Each apple is its own serving. You can dress it up with whipped cream or ice cream, or add some contrast with cheddar cheese on the side. It looks lovely, and tastes delicious!

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Mix water and lemon juice in a large bowl. You’ll use this to keep the apples from browning as you prepare them for stuffing.
Slice the very top off one apple.
Remove the core, but don’t cut all the way through the bottom of the apple; you want the apple to hold the filling.
Place the prepared apple into the lemon water mixture.
Prepare the rest of the apples.
Combine all the raisins, cranberries and spices together with the sugar and butter.
Drain apples and put them on a greased baking dish.
Fill each apple with the filling.
Pour apple cider/juice over the apples.
Bake in 350 degrees F oven for 45 minutes.
Serve warm. Top with yogurt, whipped cream, or ice cream if desired.
