Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Apples (medium-sized, baking variety like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 0.5 cups Walnuts (chopped)
- 0.25 cups Raisins
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cups Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash the apples and remove the cores using an apple corer or a small paring knife, making sure to leave the bottom intact to hold the filling.
In a medium bowl, mix together the chopped walnuts, raisins, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Stir in the vanilla extract until evenly combined.
Place the apples in a baking dish. Stuff each cored apple with the walnut-raisin mixture, pressing it down gently to pack it tightly.
Top each stuffed apple with 1/2 tablespoon of butter.
Pour 1 cup of water into the bottom of the baking dish to keep the apples moist while baking.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the filling is golden.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the apples cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
