Ham-Stuffed Apples - cooking recipe

Ingredients

6 large red apples, unpeeled
8 ounces cooked ham, cubed small
2 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup raisins (brown or golden)
1/3 cup pecans, chopped
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 cup apple juice (may need up to 1 cup)

Preparation

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.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
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.
Spoon this mixture into the cored apples and place them in a baking dish.
Pour the juice over the apples and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, basting occasionally with the juice.
