Baked Apples
My Bapche’s (grandma) stuffed baked apples with walnuts and honey. This recipe is in honour of those who left us too early and our loved ones that have paved the way to make us better!
Servings: 4 apples
Ingredients
- 4 apples honeycrisp or your favorite variety
- 4 tbsp walnuts crushed
- 4 tsp brown sugar or coconut sugar
- ground cinnamon
- honey optional
- 4 tsp butter or coconut oil
- ice cream for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- Wash and dry the apples. Cut off a little bit off the top of each apple.
- Using a small teaspoon or a melon baller, gently scoop out the core of each apple to make a hole for the filling. (You can snack on any edible apple scraps or use them in a smoothie.)
- Line a baking pan with parchment paper and place each cored apple inside.
- In the center of each apple add a heaping tablespoon of crushed walnuts, 1 teaspoon brown sugar, a dash of cinnamon, tiny drizzle of honey, if using, and 1 teaspoon butter.
- Bake uncovered for 50 to 60 minutes OR covered for 35 to 40. We have made them both ways (covered and uncovered) and both work. The bake time will depend on your oven, so keep an eye on them. When the apples are soft, darkened, and partially collapsed, they are ready.
- Serve as is or enjoy with a scoop of ice cream.
