  • ½ tbsp raisins
  • 1 tbsp chopped walnuts

PREPARATION

  • Preheat The Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) during preparation. This ensures the apple bakes evenly and develops a soft, tender texture.
  • Core The Apple: Carefully core the apple, leaving the bottom intact to hold the filling. This allows even cooking and creates space for the raisins and walnuts to fill them.
  • Prepare The Filling: In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon, raisins, and chopped walnuts. The cinnamon adds warmth and flavour, the raisins bring sweetness, and the walnuts provide crunch.
  • Filling The Apple: Fill the peeled apple with the cinnamon-raisin-walnut mixture. Make sure to pack the filling tightly into the cavity to ensure an even distribution of flavours.
  • Drizzle With Honey: Drizzle the honey over the top of the apple and into the filling. The honey will caramelise during baking, adding a rich sweetness that complements the tartness of the apple.
  • Bake The Apple: Place the filled apple in a small oven-safe dish and bake for 25-30 minutes until the apple is tender and the filling is golden brown. The apple should be soft but still retain its shape.
  • Serve Warm: After baking, remove the apple from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm for the best flavour and texture, garnished with extra cinnamon or a dollop of Greek yoghurt if desired.

TIPS

These tips should be followed for a better taste of Baked Apples with Cinnamon:

  • Choose The Right Apple: Firm apples like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp or Pink Lady work best for baking, as they hold their shape and provide a good balance of tartness and sweetness.
  • Add A Touch Of Spice: For an extra kick, add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger to the cinnamon mixture. These spices pair well with the sweetness of the apple.
  • Experiment With Toppings: Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a spoonful of Greek yoghurt for added creaminess and balance to the warmth of the baked apple.
  • Prevent Burning: If the apple turns brown too quickly from the outside before it becomes tender on the inside, cover it loosely with aluminium foil during baking.

VARIATIONS

  • Nut-Free Option: Substitute the walnuts with sunflower seeds or leave the nuts for a nut-free version.
  • Vegan Variation: Swap honey for maple syrup or agave nectar to make the dish vegan-friendly without sacrificing sweetness.
  • Add Dried Fruits: Add dried fruits like cranberries or chopped apricots into the filling for more flavour and texture variety.
  • Use Different Nuts: Try pecans or almonds instead of walnuts for a different crunch and flavour profile.
  • Boost The Spice: For a spicier version, add ground cloves or cardamom to the cinnamon mixture for a more aromatic touch.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: If you have leftovers, store the baked apple in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
  • Freezing: Although it is not ideal to freeze baked apples due to texture changes, you can freeze the unbaked stuffed apples. When ready to serve, thaw and bake as directed.
  • Preparation of meal: Prepare the apples by coring and stuffing them, then store them in the fridge until you’re ready to bake. This saves time and allows you to have a healthy dessert on hand.
