Number Of Ingredients 9

4 - baking apples
1/3 cup(s) raisins
1 teaspoon(s) cinnamon for sprinkling
1 cup(s) apple juice
CASHEW CREAM
1/2 cup(s) raw, unsalted cashews
3 tablespoon(s) pure maple syrup
2 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
- water

Steps:

Wash apples and remove cores without cutting through the bottoms of the apples. Slit the skin around the middle of each apple to prevent bursting while they bake.
Place apples in baking dish. Stuff each apple with raisins, sprinkle with cinnamon and fill with apple juice. Pour remaining juice in the bottom of the baking dish. Bake in a preheated 400º oven for 30 minutes.
TO PREPARE THE CASHEW CREAM: Grind nuts in a blender until pulverized. With the machine running, add the maple syrup, vanilla, and a tablespoon of water. Add more water a little at a time until you have the consistency you desire. Top baked apples with cream to serve.
