Roasted apples with honey nut crumble is a delightful dessert that brings out the natural sweetness of apples and combines it with a crunchy, nutty topping. This recipe is perfect for a cozy autumn evening or a special gathering, and it's simple to prepare with ingredients you likely already have in your kitchen.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the honey, cinnamon, minced garlic, and nutmeg and stir until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from heat.
- Stir in the chopped pecans, chopped almonds, sunflower seeds, and orange zest until well combined. Set aside.
- Wash and core the apples. Cut each apple in half.
- Arrange the apple halves in a baking dish, cut side up.
- Evenly distribute the honey nut crumble mixture over each apple half, pressing it slightly so it adheres to the apples.
- In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, orange juice, and lemon juice until the sugar is dissolved.
- Pour the orange juice mixture into the baking dish around the apples.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
- Bake covered in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
- After 25 minutes, remove the aluminum foil and continue baking for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown.
- Allow the roasted apples to cool slightly before serving.
- Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Tips:
- Choose the right apples.: Opt for firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp as they hold their shape well during baking and provide a nice contrast to the sweet topping.
- Prepare your ingredients in advance.: Measure out and prep all your ingredients before starting the cooking process to ensure a smooth and stress-free experience.
- Toast the nuts for extra flavor.: Briefly toast the pecans and almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat to enhance their natural flavors before using them in the crumble.
