• 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts (optional, such as walnuts or pecans)
• 1 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Wash and core the apples, making sure to leave the bottom intact to create a cavity for the filling.

Step 3

Place the apples in a baking dish, ensuring they sit upright and have ample space between them.

Step 4

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey into the cavity of each apple.

Step 5

Sprinkle ground cinnamon evenly over the tops of the apples.

Step 6

Cut the butter into small pieces and place a small piece inside each apple cavity.

Step 7

Optionally, sprinkle chopped nuts into the apple cavities and/or over the tops for added texture and flavor.

Step 8

Pour 1 cup of water into the bottom of the baking dish to help steam and soften the apples as they bake.

Step 9

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 5 minutes to allow the tops to caramelize slightly.

Step 11

Carefully remove the apples from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

Step 12

Serve warm as-is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
