Baked Apples
Description
Start by coring large red apples to create a cavity for the filling. The filling blends brown sugar, ground cinnamon, softened unsalted butter, and finely chopped walnuts, which is spooned into each apple. Apples sit in a baking dish with water around them to keep them moist during baking at 350°F for 40 to 45 minutes.
After baking, the apples are soft and tender, holding their shape without becoming mushy. The brown sugar mixture melts into a syrupy, spiced nut topping inside each apple. Serving the apples warm with the pan’s syrup and a scoop of ice cream makes a classic seasonal dessert with contrasting textures and sweet-spiced flavor.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days without losing quality.

- 6 red apple large
- 1/2 cup brown sugar

- 1/3 cup walnuts finely chopped
- 1/2 cup water

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Use a paring knife or apple corer to remove the core from the apple and create a hole for the filling in each of the apples.
- În a medium size bowl, stir together the brown sugar, cinnamon and butter until well combined. Then add in the walnuts.
- Spoon the filling mixture evenly into each of the apples.
- Place the apples in a baking dish and pour the water into the bottom of the pan around the apples.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes until the apples are soft and tender but not mushy.
