Baked spice-stuffed apples recipe

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 190°C. Core the apple to make a neat hole that’s 2m x 5cm in diameter. Slice off the base of the apple so it can stand upright.
2. Mix together the sugar, nuts, cinnamon, nutmeg and raisins. Pack into the cavity of the apple. Place in a snug-fitting baking dish and pour around the apple juice. Top the apple with the butter. Cover with foil and bake for 8 minutes. Remove foil and continue cooking the apple until soft, basting every 6 to 7 minutes or so; this takes around 40 to 45 minutes.
