   Put approximately 1 cup of the removed apple fruit in a mixing bowl and combine it with the ham, butter, raisins, pecans and brown sugar; mixing the ingredients well.
4. 4
   Spoon this mixture into the cored apples and place them in a baking dish.
5. 5
   Pour the juice over the apples and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, basting occasionally with the juice.
