  Ok so I made this for the kids last night. I used two massive apples gifted by a friend from their garden. This was a mistake as they required about 4 times the cooking time stated. I allowed twice the time but it was not enough. I used lime juice to soak the raisins as that was all I had in. I added a dash of mixed spice onto the raisins instead of cinnamon. After I cored the apples I snapped off the base of the core and used it to plug the bottom of the apple. This allows you to cram the raisins in and keep them inside the apples during cooking. I also added 2 tea spoons of crushed mixed nuts for the topping. All in all it worked well but the inside was a little tough. Lesson learned use normal sized apples!
