Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Core the 4 medium tart apples, leaving about ½ inch at the bottom, and set them upright in the greased baking dish.
  3. In a small mixing bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, dried cranberries, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
  4. Stuff each cored apple with the feta mixture, pressing down lightly to pack it in.
  5. Drizzle honey over the top of each stuffed apple and add a pat of unsalted butter.
  6. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until tender.
  7. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes until golden-brown.
  8. Remove from oven, let cool slightly, and optional: sprinkle with fresh mint before serving.
