How to Make Baked Apple With Maple Yogurt Sauce

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Wash and thoroughly dry the apples.
3. Core the apples, removing the top inch of peel.
4. Using a small paring knife, create a shallow cut around the center of each apple to prevent the skin from bursting during baking.
5. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, raisins, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
6. Spoon the spice mixture into the center of each cored apple.
7. Place apples upright in a baking dish or pie plate.
8. Add 1/2 cup of water to the bottom of the dish.
9. Bake, uncovered, for 25-30 minutes for less firm apples, or up to 50 minutes for firm varieties, or until apples are tender when pierced with a toothpick.
10. While apples are baking, prepare the maple yogurt sauce by combining yogurt and maple syrup in a small bowl.
11. Once apples are cooked, carefully remove them from the oven and let cool slightly.
12. Pour the maple yogurt sauce over the baked apples and serve warm.
