Cinnamon
1

Butter
2

Honey

Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Core the apples, creating a well in the center but leaving the bottom intact.
2
In a small bowl, mix together raisins, cinnamon, and softened butter. Add honey to the mixture and stir until combined.
3
Fill each apple cavity generously with the raisin-cinnamon-butter mixture, pressing it down lightly.
4
Place the filled apples in a baking dish. Add about 60 ml (¼ cup) water to the bottom of the dish to prevent sticking and add steam.
5
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the apples are tender when pierced with a fork but still hold their shape.
6
Let the baked apples cool for 5 minutes before serving warm.
