Equipment
- Chopping board
- Kitchen knife
- Measuring cups
- Measuring spoons
- Mixing bowls
- Oval baking dish (9-inch)
- Rubber spatula
Ingredients
- 3 pieces medium-sized apples
- 1/4 to 1/3 cup butter, melted
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
- 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped roughly (plus more for serving)
- 1/4 cup raisins (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (375°F).
- Combine the honey with melted butter.
- Add cinnamon powder and use a whisk to mix.
- Prepare the apples by peeling, coring, and slicing them thinly. (For reference, I typically slice a medium-sized apple into 14 portions.)
- Place the apple slices in a bowl and pour the honey and butter mixture.
- Add the raisins and mix gently --- try to coat all the apple pieces.
- Transfer everything into a baking dish.
- Add some crushed walnuts on top.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
- Place the covered apples with walnuts in the middle of the oven for 30 minutes.
- Remove the aluminum foil and continue baking the apples for about 10 more minutes.
- Take the baking dish out of the oven and cool for 10 minutes.
- Transfer your baked apples with walnuts into plates.
- Serve with some whipped cream, plus more walnuts or raisins, if desired.
Notes
- Cook's Tip #1: Sultanas and dried cranberries are both great alternatives for raisins.
- Cook's Tip #2: If you cannot find honey, molasses is an excellent substitute because it will not overpower the natural sweetness of the baked apples.
