Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Granny Smith apples
- 1 cup Walnuts
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Core the apples using an apple corer or a small knife, leaving the bottom intact to create a cavity for the filling. Place the apples in a baking dish.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the walnuts, brown sugar, rolled oats, cinnamon, and a tablespoon of lemon juice. Mix well.
Add the honey, vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of the unsalted butter (softened) to the mixture. Stir until the ingredients are fully combined and the filling is slightly sticky.
Spoon the walnut mixture evenly into the cavities of each prepared apple, packing it gently but firmly.
Cut the remaining 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter into small cubes and place one cube on top of each filled apple.
Pour about 1/4 inch of water into the bottom of the baking dish to prevent the apples from sticking and to create a gentle steaming effect while baking.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown.
Allow the apples to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
