Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Apples (medium-sized, firm varieties like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
- 60 grams Walnuts (chopped)
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 40 grams Raisins
- 2 tablespoons Butter (unsalted, cubed)
- 120 milliliters Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Wash the apples thoroughly and use an apple corer or paring knife to remove the core, leaving the bottom intact to create a cavity for the filling.
In a small bowl, mix together the chopped walnuts, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and raisins.
Divide the walnut mixture evenly among the prepared apples, packing it into the center cavities.
Place the stuffed apples in a baking dish and top each apple with a small cube of butter.
Pour the water into the bottom of the baking dish to create steam during baking, which helps soften the apples.
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 when pierced with a fork and the filling is golden and bubbling.
Let the baked apples cool slightly before serving. Serve warm and, if desired, top with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
