🧂 Ingredienti
- 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)
- 0.5 cup Water
👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
💡 Consigli Professionali: Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even baking. - 2
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.

In a small bowl, combine the chopped walnuts, honey, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well to create the filling.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Toast the walnuts lightly before chopping for enhanced flavor. - 4
Spoon the walnut-honey mixture into the cavity of each apple. Top each filled apple with a few small pieces of butter.

Place the prepared apples in a baking dish. Pour the 1/2 cup of water into the bottom of the dish. This will create steam and help the apples cook evenly.
💡 Consigli Professionali: A cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven works well for baking apples. - 6
Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the apples are tender when pierced with a fork and the filling is bubbly. The baking time will vary depending on the size and type of apple.
