Preheat your oven to 350 degrees before you start so the oven will be ready when you are done preparing your apples.
Remove the apple stickers and the core (use a knife or a apple corer)
In a bowl, combine the raisins, nuts, brown sugar, lemon juice and spices.
Place the cored apples in a casserole pan and equally fill each apple with the mixture you just prepared.
Fill the casserole pan with about 1/2 inch to 1 inch of water.
Bake the apples until they are soft. This will take about 45 to 60 minutes depending on the size of your apples.
Cool slightly but serve warm.
This will serve 4 to 8 people. 4 people for a whole apple or 8 in sliced in half.
