Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Apples
- 4 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts (optional, such as walnuts or pecans)
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash and core the apples, making sure to leave the bottom intact to create a cavity for the filling.
Place the apples in a baking dish, ensuring they sit upright and have ample space between them.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey into the cavity of each apple.
Sprinkle ground cinnamon evenly over the tops of the apples.
Cut the butter into small pieces and place a small piece inside each apple cavity.
Optionally, sprinkle chopped nuts into the apple cavities and/or over the tops for added texture and flavor.
Pour 1 cup of water into the bottom of the baking dish to help steam and soften the apples as they bake.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 5 minutes to allow the tops to caramelize slightly.
Carefully remove the apples from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm as-is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
