Baked Apples with Mint

4 Red Delicious apples

½ cup raisins

¼ cup brown sugar

1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint leaves

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Core apples and peel off a 1 inch strip around the hole on the top of each apple. Place apples in a shallow baking dish.

Combine raisins, brown sugar, and mint leaves. Fill apples with the raisin mixture. Top the raisin filling in each apple with 1 teaspoon butter.
