2. Prepare the Apples: While the raisins are soaking, rinse the apples thoroughly under cold water. Slice each apple in half and remove the core. Cut the halves into thin, even slices for an even cooking process.

3. Cook the Apples: In a small pan, melt 15g of butter over low heat. Once melted, arrange the apple slices in the pan, layering them so they slightly overlap each other. This allows for even caramelization.

4. Add the Flavorings: Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the apple slices to give them a tangy balance to the sweetness. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the apples, followed by the soaked raisins and a pinch of ground cinnamon.

5. Simmer the Mixture: Pour 20g of water into the pan, covering the apples and raisins. Let the mixture simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

6. Finish the Cooking: After the initial simmering, remove the lid from the pan and continue to cook for another 10 minutes without the cover. This will help evaporate any excess moisture and concentrate the flavors, leaving the apples soft and tender.

7. Serve: Once the apples have cooked down to a nice, syrupy consistency and are tender, remove from heat. Let them cool slightly before serving for the perfect balance of warm and sweet dessert.

Enjoy your deliciously tender, cinnamon-spiced baked apples with raisins as a comforting dessert or treat!
