🧂 Ingrédients
- 4 pieces Medium apples
- 50 g Walnuts, chopped
- 4 tbsp Honey
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp Nutmeg
- 2 tbsp Butter(cut into small pieces)

👨🍳 Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Wash the apples. Using an apple corer or a small knife, carefully core each apple from the top, removing the seeds and core but leaving the bottom intact to create a cavity for the filling. You can also cut the apples in half horizontally and scoop out the core.
