Baked Apples with Cinnamon and Honey

Ingredients

• •4 medium apples (sweet-tart varieties preferred)
• •3 tbsp honey
• •1 tsp ground cinnamon
• •1 tbsp chopped almonds
• •1 tbsp chopped walnuts
• •1 tbsp raisins
• •2 tbsp butter

Steps

1. 1Rinse the apples. Using a corer, hollow out each apple from the top to three-quarters of the depth without piercing the bottom — leaving a pocket for the filling.
2. 2In a bowl, mix the honey, cinnamon, almonds, walnuts, and raisins. Spoon the mixture into each apple cavity until full, and top each with 1/2 tbsp butter.
3. 3Place the apples in a baking dish with 1/2 cup water in the bottom (prevents sticking and keeps the apples moist). Bake in a preheated 180°C oven for 25-30 minutes until tender and golden.
4. 4Spoon the syrupy juices from the bottom of the dish over each apple at serving — it's a natural honey-cinnamon syrup.
