How to Make Almond Stuffed Baked Apple Halves

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Core the apples, leaving the peel intact. Cut each apple lengthwise into two halves.
In a small bowl, combine the slivered almonds, granulated sugar, and water. Mix until a paste forms.
Fill the center of each apple half with the almond paste, dividing it equally among the apple halves.
Place the filled apple halves on a baking sheet, filling-side up.
Drizzle the apples evenly with melted butter.
In a separate small bowl, combine the bread crumbs and brown sugar.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the apple halves.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the apples are tender when pierced with a fork.
Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with 1/4 cup of heavy cream per serving, if desired.
