Ingredients
- 4 whole Apples (firm, such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
- 100 grams Auvergne blue cheese (or any mild blue cheese)
- 50 grams Walnuts (chopped)
- 4 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)
- 100 ml Water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Step 2
Carefully core each apple, ensuring you don’t cut through the bottom. Create a hollow center large enough for the filling.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine the blue cheese, chopped walnuts, and 2 tablespoons of honey. Mix well until you have a cohesive filling.
Step 4
Spoon the filling mixture into the hollowed-out center of each apple, pressing gently to pack the filling.
Step 5
Place the stuffed apples in a baking dish. Dot each apple with a small piece of butter on top of the filling.
Step 6
Sprinkle each apple with ground cinnamon and, if desired, a light dusting of sugar for additional sweetness.
Step 7
Pour the water into the base of the baking dish to prevent the apples from drying out during baking.
Step 8
Bake the apples in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until they are tender and the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
Step 9
Remove the apples from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before drizzling the remaining 2 tablespoons of honey over them.
Step 10
Serve warm as a dessert or a sophisticated appetizer, optionally pairing with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a side of crusty bread.
