(Serves 6)
INGREDIENTS
6 apples (use good baking apples such as Gala, Braeburn or Honeycrisp)
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup walnuts and pecans coarsely chopped
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. cardamom
2 Tbsp. butter
1/4 cup water
Topping
4 Tbsp. butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
Tops from apples, chopped
1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans and walnuts
Liquid from cooked apples

Vanilla or Caramel Praline ice cream or frozen yogurt

DIRECTIONS
Cut the tops off the apples and save for later. With a knife, coring tool or grapefruit spoon, scoop out the core leaving the very bottom of it in tact. Place apples right side up in a casserole dish.
Mix raisins, nuts, brown sugar and spices in a bowl. Fill the cavity of each apple with this mixture. Place a small piece of butter on top of the filling in each apple. Pour water in the bottom of the pan around the apples and cover with foil. Bake at 350 F for 30 minutes and then remove foil. Continue to bake, uncovered, for another 10 minutes or until a knife easily pierces the apple, but the apple is not mushy. Remove apples from oven and reserve liquid for the sauce.
Meanwhile, melt butter in a skillet over medium low heat and stir in brown sugar. Add cooking liquid from apples and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until volume is reduced by half and sauce becomes syrupy. Add nuts.
To serve, place a scoop of ice cream or yogurt over apple and drizzle sauce over all.
