Ingredients

  • 4 large baking apples
  • Half a lemon
  • ¼ cup chopped dates
  • ¼ cup dried raisins
  • 2 tablespoons raspberry or strawberry jam
  • Cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons coconut oil or butter
  • ¾ cup orange or mango juice
  • 3 tablespoons honey

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Wash the apples and remove the core with  an apple corer or small knife, leaving about ½  inch of the core on the bottom. Peel the apples  halfway down from the top and rub the peeled  surfaces with the cut side of the lemon. Put the  apples in a baking dish. Mix the dates, raisins,  and jam. Stuff this mixture into the apple hollows.  Sprinkle the apples with cinnamon.
  • Dot the tops of the apples with equal  amounts of coconut oil. Bake for 20 minutes.  Place the juice and honey in a small saucepan  over medium heat and stir for a minute or two,  or until the honey thins and the mixture is well  blended.
  • Pour the juice over the apples. Bake for  another 35 to 40 minutes, basting occasionally  with the pan juices, or until the apples are  tender. Serve warm or at room temperature.
