Cinnamon and walnut baked apples are a delicious and warming dessert, perfect for those cooler months. With sweet, tender apples and a crunchy, nutty filling, this treat is both satisfying and nutritious. The combination of cinnamon and brown sugar gives it a classic fall flavor that’s hard to resist.
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Wash and core the apples. Be careful not to cut all the way through to the bottom; leave about 1/2 inch intact at the base of each apple.
- Using a small knife or spoon, slightly widen the core to make room for more filling.
- In a medium bowl, combine the coarsely chopped walnuts, coarsely chopped almonds, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
- Add the egg white to the mixture and stir until all ingredients are well coated and combined.
- Spoon the walnut mixture into the center of each apple, packing it in tightly. Distribute the filling equally among all four apples.
- Place the apples in a baking dish, ensuring they remain upright.
- Dot each stuffed apple with about 1/2 teaspoon of butter on top.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil. This helps the apples bake evenly and prevents them from drying out.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil and continue to bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the apples are tender when pierced with a knife and the filling is golden and bubbly.
- Let the baked apples cool slightly before serving.
- Serve plain or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce, if desired.
Tips:
- Choose firm apples, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, to ensure they hold their shape during baking.
- Toast the walnuts and almonds lightly before mixing them with the other ingredients to enhance their flavor.
- For an extra indulgent treat, serve the baked apples with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
- If you prefer a sweeter filling, consider adding a drizzle of honey or maple syrup to the nut mixture.
- Make sure to evenly distribute the cinnamon and brown sugar to ensure each bite is perfectly spiced.
- You can prepare the filling ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator, making it even quicker to assemble the dessert when you're ready to bake.
Once you've tried these cinnamon and walnut baked apples, they will quickly become a staple in your kitchen. This easy and delightful recipe is sure to impress your family and friends, offering a comforting and tasty end to any meal.
