   • Peel off one strip around the center of each apple.
   • Slice a thin piece off the bottom of each apple to create a stable base. Arrange them almost touching in an oven-proof dish.

2. Make the Filling:

   • In a mixing bowl, combine the granola cereal, raisins, chopped nuts, cinnamon, nutmeg, and grated lemon rind. Toss well to ensure an even distribution of ingredients.

3. Fill the Apples:

   • Divide the prepared filling among the centers of the apples, gently packing it down to ensure it fills the cavities evenly.

4. Prepare the Sauce:

   • In a saucepan, combine the lemon juice, honey, and butter. Heat over medium heat until the mixture starts to bubble. Simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.

5. Pour the Sauce Over the Apples:

   • Carefully pour the warm honey-lemon sauce over the filled apples, ensuring each one is generously coated.

6. Bake:

   • Cover the dish with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes.

7. Baste and Bake Further:

   • Remove the foil covering from the dish and continue baking the apples for another 30 minutes, basting them frequently with the juices from the bottom of the dish. This helps to ensure the apples cook evenly and stay moist.

8. Serve:

   • Once baked to perfection, remove the apples from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. These Old Fashioned Baked Apples are best enjoyed warm, served with a drizzle of the remaining sauce and a dollop of cream on the side.
