Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
  2. Step 2: Core 4 large apples, removing the seeds and creating a hollow center about 1 inch wide, taking care not to pierce the bottom.
  3. Step 3: In a small bowl, mix 2 tsp ground cinnamon and 4 tbsp honey until combined.
  4. Step 4: Place the apples upright in the baking dish and brush the insides generously with 1 tbsp lemon juice.
  5. Step 5: Fill each apple cavity with the cinnamon-honey mixture, then top with 2 tbsp unsalted butter cut into small pieces and sprinkle 1/4 cup chopped walnuts over the top.
  6. Step 6: Bake the apples for 30-35 minutes until tender when pierced with a fork and the tops are golden.
  7. Step 7: Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving warm, spooning any pan juices over the apples.
