Preparation
Step 1
Choose firm, large apples, preferably those that keep their shape when baked. Tart varieties like Granny Smith work especially well.
Step 2
Wash and dry the apples. Cut off the tops and scoop out the core and seeds with a spoon, leaving about ½ inch (1 cm) thick walls - forming “apple cups.” You can bake the tops along with them or save them for compote (together with the removed pulp).
Step 3
Prepare the walnuts. If using shelled nuts, peel them first. For a richer flavor, lightly toast them in a dry skillet, then chop coarsely using a knife, blender, or mortar and pestle. Avoid overgrinding - leave small chunks.
Step 4
Rinse and dry the raisins (optional). Combine walnuts, raisins, and natural honey in a bowl. If the honey is thick, warm it slightly in a water bath until liquid.
Step 5
Fill the hollowed apples with the nut-honey mixture and place them in a heatproof baking dish. Pour about ½ inch (1 cm) of water into the bottom. Optionally, sprinkle ground cinnamon over the apples. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C), using both upper and lower heat.
Step 6
Bake for about 30 minutes. The exact time may vary depending on your oven and apple type. Once done, remove the apples and serve warm or chilled - they’re delicious either way. Enjoy!
