Ingredients
4 Golden Delicious apples, McIntosh, or Gala apples (each about 3 in. diameter)
¼ cup golden raisins
2 tbsp Lucerne Sweet Cream Butter, or margarine
½ tsp nutmeg, ground
⅓ cup brown sugar, firmly packed
3 tbsp rum, or apple juice
whipped cream , or vanilla yogurt
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Core apples using an apple corer.
Arrange apples slightly apart in a shallow baking dish just large enough to hold them without crowding.
In a small bowl, mix raisins, butter, nutmeg, and brown sugar.
Press ¼ of the mixture into center of each apple, mounding any excess on top.
Drizzle with rum or apple juice if you want a non-alcoholic option.
Bake for about 35 to 40 minutes or until apples are tender when pierced.
Serve hot or warm; add a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla yogurt to taste, if desired.
