Hello, our festive friends! 🎄 It’s Bubu and Dudu here, bringing you a delicious holiday treat that’s as sweet and comforting as a bear hug! 🐻🐼 Let us introduce you to Holiday Stuffed Apples, a dessert filled with the magic of cinnamon, crunchy nuts, and a drizzle of golden honey. Perfect for chilly evenings by the fire or to impress Santa when he drops by! 🎅✨
What You’ll Need
Here’s the list of ingredients to gather for this delightful treat (makes 4 stuffed apples):
4 medium apples
1/4 cup chopped walnuts (or your favorite nuts 🥜)
2 tbsp raisins (optional but adds a sweet burst!)
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp melted butter
2 tbsp honey (plus extra for drizzling 🍯)
A splash of lemon juice 🍋
How to Make Them
Follow our cozy step-by-step guide:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). While the oven warms up, let’s prepare the apples! 🍎
Core the apples carefully, making a hollow center without cutting through the bottom. (Tip: Use a small spoon or melon baller for this part!)
In a bowl, mix together the chopped walnuts, raisins, cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, and melted butter. This is the magical filling that will make your apples sing with flavor! 🎵
Stuff each apple with the nutty mixture until it’s nicely packed. Top it off with a small drizzle of honey for that extra sweetness. 🍯
Place the apples in a baking dish and add a splash of water with lemon juice to the bottom of the dish to keep the apples moist while baking.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the apples are tender but still hold their shape. Your kitchen will smell like a holiday wonderland! 🎄
Serve & Enjoy
Once baked, let the apples cool slightly before serving. Drizzle a little more honey on top and, if you’re feeling fancy, add a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. 🍨
We hope this recipe adds a sprinkle of joy to your holiday celebrations! Let us know if Santa approves. 🍎✨
Lots of holiday love,
Bubu & Dudu ❤️
