• 6 large baking apples
• 14 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
• 14 cup raisins
• 12 cup good quality maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons butter

1. With a vegetable peeler, remove the peel from the top third of the apple.
2. With a zester/stripper, make a decoration down the sides of the remaining skin on the apples.
3. With an apple corer, remove the core of the apple, being careful not to go through the bottom, it should be like a container.

5. Fill the center of each apple with walnuts, raisins, and maple syrup.
6. Put a generous teaspoon of butter on each apple.
7. Pour a layer of water in the bottom of the baking dish to about 1/2 inch.
