Step by Step Method
Step 1
Place raisins in a bowl; cover with hot water and allow to stand until soft.
Step 2
Preheat oven to 375F.
Step 3
Core each apple, leaving about 1/2 inch of flesh at the base of the hole you create, taking care not to poke through the bottom of the apple.
Step 4
Slice through skin only of the apple half way down all around the apple; this keeps it intact while cooking.
Step 5
Drain the raisins, then put them in a small bowl with the walnuts, stir to combine.
Step 6
Set the apples in a shallow baking pan and pack each core loosely with the walnut mixture; then pour in maple syrup to fill.
Step 7
Sprinkle a wee bit of lemon juice over each apple, then drizzle a bit more maple syrup on the exposed flesh.
Step 8
Place a thin slice of unsalted butter on the packed core of each apple.
Step 9
Pour the apple juice or water into the pan so it covers the bottom to a shallow depth.
Step 10
Bake on the middle rack of the oven until apples are cooked through (test with a toothpick); this should take 35-40 minutes.
Step 11
If it is browning too quickly, cover with a piece of foil.
