Method
- Heat the oven to 190°C. Wash and halve the apples; scoop out the cores with a spoon.
- Roughly chop walnuts and mix with cinnamon and maple syrup.
- Place the apples cut side up in a baking dish and spoon the walnut mixture into each half. Add 2 tablespoons of water to the bottom of the dish.
- Bake for 20–30 minutes until soft but still holding their shape. Rest for 5 minutes before serving, as the filling will be very hot.
- Before serving, check: At the end, pierce the thickest piece with a fork: the centre should be tender and the edges lightly browned. If firm, roast a few minutes longer.
