How to Make Baked Apples With Chopped Hazelnuts

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Core the apples using an apple corer or a sharp knife, leaving a wider opening at the top than the bottom. No need to peel!
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened, 1/2 cup chopped hazelnuts, 1/4 cup raisins, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and the zest of 1 lemon.
  4. Stuff the apples firmly with the fruit mixture, packing them as much as possible. Pile any leftover mixture on top of the apples.
  5. Place the apples in a baking dish or casserole that fits them snugly (a Pyrex pie dish works well) to prevent them from tipping over.
  6. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup over each apple.
  7. Pour 1/2 cup of water into the bottom of the dish.
  8. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the apples are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
  9. Let the apples cool for 10 minutes before serving. Drizzle with any remaining syrup from the baking dish.
  10. Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or custard, if desired.
