Ingredients

• 4 pieces Apples (medium-sized, firm varieties like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
• 60 grams Walnuts (chopped)
• 50 grams Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 40 grams Raisins
• 2 tablespoons Butter (unsalted, cubed)
• 120 milliliters Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

Wash the apples thoroughly and use an apple corer or paring knife to remove the core, leaving the bottom intact to create a cavity for the filling.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the chopped walnuts, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and raisins.

Step 4

Divide the walnut mixture evenly among the prepared apples, packing it into the center cavities.

Step 5

Place the stuffed apples in a baking dish and top each apple with a small cube of butter.

Step 6

Pour the water into the bottom of the baking dish to create steam during baking, which helps soften the apples.

Step 7

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the apples are tender when pierced with a fork and the filling is golden and bubbling.

Step 9

Let the baked apples cool slightly before serving. Serve warm and, if desired, top with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
