Baked apples with honey in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake apples with honey in the oven? Prepare the ingredients according to the list. The amount of dried fruits can be reduced or increased if desired, or replaced with fresh fruits or berries. You can also take any nuts you want. It is better to take sweet and sour varieties of apples. Turn on the oven at 180C in advance. Wash the apples, wipe dry, make a deep indentation on the side of the stalk, but do not pierce the apple through.

2. STEP 2

   

   Rinse dried fruits thoroughly under running water. Pour boiling water over them and leave for 15 minutes until they become soft and swell a little. After this, drain the water. Cut large dried fruits into small pieces.

3. STEP 3

   

   Also wash and steam the raisins.

4. STEP 4

   

   Wash the walnuts and dry them in the microwave (at maximum power for 4-5 minutes) or in a frying pan until they become crispy. Chop the walnuts with a knife or grind them into coarse crumbs using a coffee grinder.

5. STEP 5

   

   Mix a mixture of dried fruits and walnuts with cinnamon. Fill the apples with this mixture and pour honey on top. It’s okay if the honey is already candied; when baked in the oven, it will melt and thoroughly soak the pulp of the filled apples. Some people believe that when honey is heated, it loses its beneficial properties. To be sure that the dessert will be healthy, you can pour fresh liquid honey over the apples before serving.

6. STEP 6

   

   Carefully place the filled apples in a refractory dish and place them in the oven preheated to 180 degrees for 15-20 minutes. The exact time depends on the power of the oven and the size of the apples. If the apples begin to crack, they need to be removed from the oven so that they do not lose their presentable appearance. The apples with honey and nuts are ready in the oven. Bon appetit!

I wanted a baked apple again, so I made myself a portion. I really liked adding the filling) Now I tried it with nuts and dried fruits. My nuts are walnuts, they are my favorite. They themselves are healthy and very tasty. Of the dried fruits, I only had dark raisins, I can imagine how delicious it would be with dried apricots and prunes) I put honey on top, it candied a little, but melted in the oven. I baked the apple for 15 minutes, during which time it was well baked, but did not turn into porridge. The raisins and nuts were soaked in the melted honey and became sweet and aromatic. And the apple itself was saturated with fragrant honey. The dessert is amazing, tasty and healthy! Thank you!
