Savor the cozy, sweet warmth of baked apples that will fill your home with delightful aromas tonight!

1

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (about 175 degrees Celsius).

2

Wash the apples thoroughly, then carefully core them, keeping the bottom intact to hold the filling.

3

In a bowl, mix together the sugar, cinnamon, raisins, and walnuts until well combined.

4

Stuff each apple with the mixture, packing it in gently.

5

Place the filled apples upright in a baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining sugar and cinnamon mixture on top of the apples.

6

Dab butter on top of each apple, and pour the water into the bottom of the baking dish to help keep the apples moist during baking.

7

Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

8

After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, until the apples are tender and caramelized.

9

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
