Preheat the oven to 375F.
With a pairing knife, cut out out the center of each apple without cutting down all the way to the bottom. The cut should be approximately 2" in diameter across the top depending on the size of your apples. Repeat for the remaining apples.
Stuff each apple with the mincemeat and finish each apple with a mound of mincemeat on top. Place the apples in a deep baking dish.
Pour enough hot water into the baking dish until it comes about 1/2" up the apples. Bake for 30-40 minutes until tender. If you like your apples more tender and soft, bake for an additional 5-10 minutes depending on the size of your apples.
