Instructions for Delicious Baked Apples
First, pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees F. Then, wash and take the core out of the apples. You can either use an apple corer or just a knife will work as well.
Next, chop up the walnuts into fine pieces.
Then, in a small bowl mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon. Add the chopped walnuts with the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture to make the filling.
Now, spoon the filling into the cut apples and place into casserole dish.
Next, pour a cup of water into the dish and place into the oven for 45 minutes.
After 45 minutes, cut up butter into squares and place on top of the apples for another 5 minutes or until they melt over the filling. Larger apples will take longer, so keep the apples in the oven until you are able to prick them with a fork.

FAQ’s
Q: Could I use regular sugar instead of brown sugar?
A: Regular sugar will work, but it will change the consistency.
Q: Could I make these baked apples in the instant pot?
A: Yes, absolutely! This is a great alternative if you are in a pinch for time. Follow the same instructions, then cook in the instant pot on Manuel high pressure for 7 minutes. Wait 5 minutes after it cooks, then release the pressure!
Q: Could I use pecans instead of walnuts?
A: Yes, you may. I prefer the taste of walnuts but pecans will work as well.
Q: Could I use any variety of apples?
A: Any apples will work, but I would recommend using any variety of red apples because they tend to be sweeter. I’ve tried Granny Smith apples and because they are tart, they did not turn out as delicious. I recommend Gala apples are best. And because they are not so big, they do not take as long time to bake.
