How to Make Baked Apples With Dates And Apricots

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
2. Pulse 1 cup pitted dates and 1/2 cup dried apricots in a food processor until finely chopped but still slightly chunky (about 10-12 pulses), or chop by hand.
3. Transfer the chopped fruit to a medium bowl.
4. Stir in 1/4 cup honey, 2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses, 3/4 cup dry red wine (reserve 1/2 cup), 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
5. Core 4 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji).
6. Generously stuff the apple cavities with the date and apricot mixture, mounding slightly at the top.
7. Arrange the stuffed apples in a baking dish.
8. Pour the reserved 1/2 cup of wine into the bottom of the baking dish.
9. Bake for 45-60 minutes, basting the apples with the pan juices every 15 minutes, until the apples are tender.
10. Let cool slightly before serving warm or at room temperature. Spoon some of the delicious pan juices over the apples for extra flavor.
