Preparation
Leaving apples whole, use a melon baller or very small spoon to scoop out cores and stems. Be careful not to cut through to bottom of apple. Peel off 1/2 inch(1 cm) strip of peel from around top of apples. Set apples aside in a baking dish just large enough to hold them.
Mix together walnuts, raisins, butter and cinnamon; stuff inside hollowed out cores of apples. Stir cider with 1/4 cup (60 mL) cream; pour over apples.
Bake apples uncovered in preheated 350° F (180° C) oven 35 to 50 min, basting every 15 min, or until apples are tender.
Caramel Sauce:
Pour cream mixture from baking dish into a small saucepan along with brown sugar, butter and remaining 3/4 cup (180 mL) cream. Set over medium high heat; bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 15 to 20 min, stirring occasionally until smooth and thick. Stir in vanilla extract and salt.
Serve Warm Caramel Sauce spooned over baked apples.
Tips
Refrigerate leftover sauce, reheat and serve warm over ice cream or yogurt.
