Instructions

  1. Cut the tope off the apples and scoop out the core with some of the fruit, but be sure to leave a thick shell to hold the stuffing.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  3. Put approximately 1 cup of the removed apple fruit in a mixing bowl and combine it with the ham, butter, raisins, pecans and brown sugar; mixing the ingredients well.
  4. Spoon this mixture into the cored apples and place them in a baking dish.
  5. Pour the juice over the apples and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, basting occasionally with the juice.
