Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 4 medium apples (Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala)
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 2 tbsp brown sugar or maple syrup
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 4 small pats of unsalted butter
- Optional: pinch of nutmeg, raisins, or honey drizzle
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Core each apple, leaving the bottom intact to create a small cavity.
- In a bowl, mix the chopped walnuts, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
- Spoon the filling into each apple until fully stuffed.
- Top each filled apple with a small pat of butter.
- Place the apples in a baking dish and add a splash of water (about 1/4 cup) to the bottom of the pan.
- Cover loosely with foil and bake for 25–30 minutes.
- Remove foil and bake for another 10–15 minutes, until the apples are soft and the tops slightly golden.
- Serve warm with a drizzle of honey or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
Notes
- Use a melon baller or small spoon to core the apples easily.
- Substitute pecans or almonds if desired.
- Best served fresh but can be reheated in the microwave or oven.
