Ingredients

2 tablespoons unsalted butter 

1/4 cup honey 

1 whole vanilla bean, scraped 

4 red apples, such as Macoun or McIntosh, cored, but still intact 

2 tablespoons golden raisins 

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Divide butter, honey, and vanilla bean seeds evenly between 4 jumbo-size muffin pan cups. Place an apple in each prepared muffin pan cup; stuff each apple with 1 1/2 teaspoons raisins.

Cover apples with parchment paper-lined aluminum foil and transfer to oven; bake until tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
