A delightful dessert featuring tender baked apples filled with a spiced walnut mixture, perfect for a cozy evening.
Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Using an apple corer or a small knife, remove the cores from the apples, leaving the apples whole.
Be careful not to cut through the bottom of the apple to keep the filling contained.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped walnuts, currants, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and orange zest.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
Stuff the prepared apples with the walnut mixture, pressing it gently into the hollowed centers.
Pack the filling tightly for a satisfying bite in every spoonful.
Place the stuffed apples in a baking dish and cover with aluminum foil.
Covering the dish helps to keep the apples moist during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the apples are tender.
Check the apples with a fork; they should be soft but not mushy.
Remove the foil and let the apples cool slightly before serving.
Cooling slightly allows the flavors to meld and makes them easier to handle.
Serve the baked apples warm, topped with a dollop of vanilla yogurt.
For an extra touch, sprinkle a bit of cinnamon on top of the yogurt.
