Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash the apples thoroughly.
- Using a corer or a small knife, carefully remove the cores from the apples, leaving about 1/2 inch of the bottom intact. This will create a hollow space for the filling.
- In a medium bowl, combine the chopped walnuts and raisins.
- Add 1/4 cup (80g) of the maple syrup to the walnut-raisin mixture and stir to combine evenly.
- Place the cored apples in a baking dish.
- Fill each apple with the walnut-raisin mixture, packing it in tightly.
- Place a small piece of butter on top of the filling in each apple.
- Drizzle the remaining 1/2 cup (160g) of maple syrup over and around the apples.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the apples are tender when pierced with a fork and the tops are golden brown.
- Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven and let the apples cool slightly before serving.
- These baked apples are delicious on their own or can be served with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Tips:
- Choose firm apples such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp to prevent them from becoming too mushy during baking.
- Toast the walnuts lightly in a dry pan before using them in the recipe to enhance their flavor.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the maple syrup for an extra layer of warm, spicy flavor.
- Core the apples carefully to ensure even baking and to create enough space for the stuffing.
- Place the apples in a baking dish with a little water or apple juice at the bottom to keep them moist as they bake.
- Check the apples periodically to avoid overbaking and ensure they remain tender but hold their shape.
Maple-walnut baked apples with raisins are a perfect sweet treat that brings together a harmonious blend of flavors and textures. Easy to prepare and bake, this dessert is sure to impress family and friends alike. Serve them warm, possibly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special touch. Enjoy this delightful dish and savor the comforting taste of fall.
