Description
Follow these steps to make simple, warm baked apples filled with cinnamon, brown sugar, and crunchy walnuts.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Lightly grease a small baking dish.
- Wash the apples. Use a small spoon or melon baller to core the center of each apple, leaving about half an inch at the bottom so the filling stays inside. Do not cut all the way through the bottom.
- In a small bowl, mix together the chopped walnuts, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Place the cored apples in the prepared baking dish.
- Spoon the walnut mixture evenly into the center cavity of each apple.
- Place one piece of butter on top of the filling in each apple.
- Pour the water into the bottom of the baking dish around the apples.
- Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the apples are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving warm.
Notes
- For a softer filling, use maple syrup instead of brown sugar.
- If you prefer a richer flavor, use pecans instead of walnuts.
- If the apples start to brown too quickly during baking, loosely cover the dish with aluminum foil.
