Looking for a healthy low-calorie fall dessert? These walnut stuffed oven baked apples make the perfect treat for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Sunday brunch, or just about any time of the day or year! The recipe is easy to make and only requires a few simple ingredients you most likely already have in your pantry.

Not a fan of walnuts? You definitely should be! Walnuts are an excellent source of ant-inflammatory omega-3 essential fatty acids, rich in antioxidants and are a very good source of manganese and cooper. They are also the healthiest of nuts you can eat, and are very filling. I have to admit, after eating one of these apples I was definitely stuffed and satisfied!  
If you are on a vegan diet or lactose intolerant, you can easily substitute the milk with almond or soya milk. Having an adults-only party? Spike these apples with rum or Irish whiskey to get the party started!

Walnut Stuffed Oven Baked Apples

 
Serves 6
Oven baked apples stuffed with a mixture of walnuts, cinnamon, sugar and raisins!
 
Ingredients:
 
  1. 6 medium sized apples, tops cut off and generously cored
  2. 200g ground walnuts
  3. 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  4. 2 tbsp granulated white sugar or brown sugar
  5. 1 tbsp rum or Irish whiskey (optional)
  6. 1 tsp vanilla extract
  7. 1/2 cup milk
  8. ¼ cup rum soaked raisins (optional)
Instructions:
 
  1. Preheat oven to 300F (150C). Mix together walnuts, cinnamon, sugar, rum, and vanilla extract (raisins are optional).
  2. Bring milk to a boil and pour over walnut mixture and mix into a paste. If the paste appears watery, let it sit for a few minutes until thickened. Allow to cool for 15 minutes and then spoon paste into apples until filled to the top. Place apple top back on.
  3. Carefully transfer apples to a baking sheet (no need to grease it) and bake for 1.5 hours until apples are softened and cooked through (you should be able to easily poke a toothpick all the way through the apple). Remove from oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes. Enjoy!

Moist and Soft Apple Chunk Banana Bunt Cake

2 apple banana bread bundt cake recipe easy cinnamon better baking bible blog no eggs no milk dairy free lactose cheap budget recipe bundt pan blog

A bunt cake that melts in your mouth! Inspired by the fall season just around the corner, this apple chunk banana bunt cake is a spin-off of regular banana bread. I am a huge fan of banana bread and so is everyone in my family – we’ve tried all the combinations you could think of except spicing it up with apples! All I basically did was follow my classic banana bread recipe I posted here and added one large chopped apple to the mix (I also omitted the chocolate). The apples made the bread super duper moist and down right addicting. Baking it in a bunt pan and sprinkling powdered sugar on-top gave it a little more oomph. Here’s the recipe once again: 

Quick tip: Because of the apples, I baked my bread about 10-15 minutes longer than usual because it was really moist. I also covered the top with tin foil near the end to give the insides time to bake and to prevent the top edges from burning!
