4 medium cooking apples
 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)
 1/4 cup golden raisins
 1 tsp honey
 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
 1/4 tsp ground cloves
 1 cup water
 1 cup honey
 1 tsp lemon juice
 1 cinnamon stick
 whipped cream, optional
 Core apples, being careful not to cut through bottom. Pare 1/2 inch
 at the stem end.
 Combine raisins and walnuts, if used, and 1 tsp honey with the
 ground cinnamon and ground cloves. Fill the center of the apples
 with this mixture. Place the apples in a 8" by 8" baking pan.
 In a small saucepan combine water, honey, lemon juice and cinnamon
 stick and bring to a boil. Simmer for 2 minutes. Remove cinnamon
 stick and pour syrup over apples. Bake in a preheated 375 oven
 until tender, about 45 minutes, basting occasionally with syrup
 from the pan.  Serve warm or cold, with whipped cream if desired.
