Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Core the apples using an apple corer or a small paring knife, leaving about 1/2 inch at the bottom to create a well for the filling.

In a mixing bowl, combine the dried cranberries, honey or maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.

Stuff each apple with the cranberry mixture, pressing down gently.

Place the stuffed apples in a baking dish or oven-safe skillet.

Dot the tops of the apples with small pieces of butter.

Pour water or apple juice into the bottom of the baking dish to create a liquid base.

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil or an oven-safe lid.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the apples are tender.

Remove the foil or lid and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes to allow the tops to caramelize slightly.

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
