1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
1/3 cup yogurt, low-fat
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 teaspoons cinnamon

A large, firm, tart apple is best.

A Cortland can be used.
However, if you use a McIntosh, you must shorten the cooking time.
Core apples and remove top inch of peel.
Make a shallow out through skin around centre of each apple to prevent skin from bursting.
Place apples upright in baking dish or pie plate.
In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, raisins, cinnamon and nutmeg.
Spoon into centres of each apple.
Add water to cover bottom of dish.
Bake, uncovered in 375 F for 25 to 30 minutes for less firm apples and up to 50 minutes for firm varieties or until apples are tender when pierced with a toothpick.
