Stuffed Baked Apples with Walnuts
Fall flavored Stuffed Baked Apples with walnuts, brown sugar and cinnamon. Quick and easy dessert idea for the family.
Ingredients
- 4 apple see Notes
- ½ cup walnuts
- 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 Teaspoon ground cinnamon powder
- 4 Tablespoon butter 1 Tbs per apple
- ¾ cup water
Instructions
- Wash your apples well. Cut off the top part of the apples and keep aside (don't throw it out!).
- With a corer remove the inner seed pod of the apple. Keep the apples aside.
- Crush/cut the walnuts roughly.
- Place walnuts into a bowl and add the sugar and cinnamon powder. Mix well
- Preheat oven to 180 Celsius/ 350 Fahrenheit.
- Place the apples into an oven proof bowl. Stuff the apples with the walnut mixture.
- Add approx. 1 Tablespoon of Butter on each apple. Close the apple with the "apple lid" (top apple piece).
- Pour Water into the baking dish.
- Bake apples at 180 Celsius/ 350 Fahrenheit tender for about 25-30 mins. The bigger the apple the longer they need to bake to get tender cooked.
- Serve hot or cooled with the syrup sauce that has formed at the bottom of the dish.
Notes
- Use only organic untreated apples for this recipe because we are not peeling the skin and you don't know what they spray (or what wax they use) on your store-bought apples.
- You can make these stuffed baked apples healthier by omitting the butter. To make it low carb, skip the sugar. For a perfectly balanced french style recipe recreate as I mentioned in the recipe card.
