Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash and core the apples, removing the seeds and creating a hollow center, but leave about 1/2 inch at the bottom intact. Place the apples in a baking dish.
In a small bowl, combine the chopped walnuts, rolled oats, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Mix well.
Add the softened butter to the walnut mixture and use a fork to blend it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stuff each apple with the walnut filling, packing it tightly until the hollow centers are full.
Drizzle a teaspoon of honey over the top of each stuffed apple.
Pour the cup of water into the bottom of the baking dish to help keep the apples moist while baking.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the filling is golden brown.
Carefully remove the baked apples from the oven. Let them cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
