- 4 small apples and/or pears (any variety will work)
- ¼ cup unsalted almonds, chopped
- 2 tbsp dried, unsweetened cranberries and/or raisins
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tsp honey

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Fill a small baking dish with ¼ inch of water. Set aside.
Cut ½ inch off the top of the apples (and/or pears). Reserve the tops.
Using a spoon or paring knife, core out the fruits, leaving the bottoms intact.
In a small bowl, combine the almonds, cranberries (and/or raisins) and cinnamon, stirring gently.
Drizzle the honey over the almond mixture, stirring until the almonds and cranberries are coated.
Spoon the almond mixture into the fruit cavities. Replace the tops. Place the fruit in the baking dish. Cover loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil. Bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the fruit is tender and lightly golden.
