Easy Baked Apples with Walnuts

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

4 large apples

1/4 cup maple syrup

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F/175°C.

In a medium bowl, mix together maple syrup, chopped walnuts, vanilla and cinnamon. Let the filling sit while you core the apples.

Core four whole apples, leaving the bottoms untouched. This will prevent the filling from spilling out.

Place apples in a baking dish, and stuff them evenly with the prepared walnut filling.

Bake for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes of baking, the apples will be soft, but still slightly crunchy in the middle. If you want them perfectly tender, bake for another 10 minutes or so.

Serve warm, with chopped walnuts, drizzled with maple syrup or honey, and with a dash of cinnamon.
