Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. Core 4 large apples, leaving the bottom intact to hold the filling.

  3. Step 3: Spoon the nut and honey mixture evenly into the cavities of the apples.
  4. Step 4: Place the stuffed apples upright in a baking dish, brush the outside of each apple with 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, and pour 1/2 cup water into the dish to help steam.
  5. Step 5: Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, basting apples occasionally with the pan juices, until apples are tender but still hold their shape.
  6. Step 6: Remove from oven and serve warm, optionally with a dollop of yogurt or cream.
