4 large apples
½ C chopped toasted walnuts
2 tbsp packed brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp nutmeg
¼ maple syrup
½ C apple cider or juice
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Core apples, leaving the bottoms intact. In a bowl combine walnuts, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and 2 tbsp of the maple syrup. Stuff each apple with the nut mixture.
Place apples close together in a baking dish. Combine apple cider and remaining 2 tbsp maple syrup and pour around apples. Cover with foil and bake about 45 minutes, until apples are tender.
