👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 180°C (355°F).
    ⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
    💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
  2. 2
    Wash the apples, core them and make a cavity in each apple, leaving about 1 cm at the bottom so the filling doesn't escape.

  3. 3
    Score a thin line around the middle of each apple, so the skin doesn't burst during baking.
    Knife
  4. 4
    Coarsely chop the walnuts.

  5. 5

  7. 7

  8. 8
    Bake 40 minutes, until the apples are tender when pierced with a knife and the skin wrinkles.
