Baked Apples Stuffed with Prunes
Inspired by ZoëBakes, these apples are a cozy treat for cooler weather. Each is stuffed with California prunes, pecans, and fall spices before they’re baked to tender perfection, then drizzled with honey and seasoned with salt to serve.
Ingredients
- 4 large baking apples
- ½ cup California prunes chopped
- ¼ cup golden raisins
- ½ cup chopped pecans
- 1 TBSP grated ginger
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 2 TBSP brown sugar
- 1 lemon zested and juiced
- 2 TBSP salted butter divided
- Honey to serve
- Flaky sea salt for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160C).
- Core the apples, then scrape out and reserve about 4 tablespoons of flesh from each, careful to preserve their shape and avoid piercing through the skin. Score a line around the outside of each apple.
- Roughly chop the reserved flesh and add it to a mixing bowl along with the chopped prunes, raisins, pecans, ginger, cinnamon, brown sugar, and lemon zest. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and half of the lemon juice and stir to combine. Use a small spoon to stuff ¼ of the mixture into each apple, then top them with the remaining butter.
- Set the apples in a small baking dish and pour in a splash of water. Bake 40-45 minutes, until tender, then remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Drizzle honey over each and garnish with flakey salt to serve!
