2. Partially peel 8 medium apples (about 2 inches diameter), leaving the bottom half intact.
3. Remove the core from each apple using a melon baller or small knife.
4. If necessary, cut a thin slice from the bottom of each apple to create a stable base.
5. Place the prepared apples in a baking dish.
6. Peel and dice 1 medium apple into 1/2-inch pieces.
7. In a medium bowl, combine the diced apple, 1/2 cup applesauce, 1/4 cup raisins, 1/2 cup dried apricots (chopped), 1/2 cup cashews (roughly chopped), 1/3 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Toss gently to combine.

10. Place 1/2 teaspoon of butter on top of each apple.
11. Sprinkle each apple generously with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
12. Pour 1/2 inch of white wine into the baking dish.

14. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
