Ingredients
- 4 large baking apples such as Honeycrisp
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 Tablespoons butter room temperature (Vegan butter can be a replacement)
- 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions

- Use a paring knife or apple corer to remove the stem and seeds from the apples, making a deep hole where the filling will go.

- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, butter and cinnamon, mix well. Add the nuts. Spoon mixture evenly into each of the apples.
- Add 1/4 cup of water to a baking dish and place apples on top.
