Baked Apples

4 apples
1 cup raisins
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup apple juice
1/4 cup walnuts, almonds or pecans, chopped
2 tbsp almond butter (optional)

Heat oven to 375F. Core and pierce apples with a fork in several places around the center, to prevent them bursting. Mix raisins, nuts, butter, cinnamon and vanilla in a small bowl. Fill center of each apple with this mix. Place in a glass baking dish, and pour apple juice into the pan. Cover with foil and bake about 30 minutes, or until tender.
