Manuka Honey Cinnamon Baked Apple Recipe
Ingredients:
- 4 large apples (red)
- 4 tbsp Manuka Doctor honey
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans)
- 1/4 cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tbsp butter
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Wash the apples and remove the cores, leaving about 1/2 inch at the bottom of each apple to create a well for the filling. Use a small paring knife or an apple corer for this step.
- In a small bowl, combine the Manuka Doctor honey, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, chopped nuts, and raisins or dried cranberries (if using). Mix well.
- Place the cored apples in a baking dish. Spoon the honey mixture into the center of each apple, packing it in tightly.
- Pour the apple juice or water into the bottom of the baking dish to help keep the apples moist during baking.
- Place a small piece of butter on top of each filled apple.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the apples are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
- Remove the apples from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Drizzle any remaining juice from the baking dish over the apples for extra flavor.
Serving Suggestions:
- Serve the baked apples warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
- For a healthier option, enjoy them with a spoonful of Greek yogurt.
