🔥 How to Make It
1️⃣ Prep the apples
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Wash the apples and core them — remove the centre but keep the base intact so the filling doesn’t escape.
2️⃣ Mix the filling
In a small bowl, combine walnuts, cinnamon, honey, and vanilla.
> It should be sticky, fragrant, and slightly crunchy.
3️⃣ Fill the apples
Pack the mixture inside each apple.
Add a tiny piece of butter on top if you want extra richness.
4️⃣ Bake
Place apples in a baking dish with a splash of water at the bottom.
Bake for 25–35 minutes, depending on the size of the apples, until soft but still holding their shape.
> The kitchen will smell like a hug — enjoy it.
5️⃣ Serve
Let them cool slightly.
Serve warm with a generous spoonful of thick yoghurt and a drizzle of honey.
