Baked apples with nuts and honey are a cozy treat from European cuisine. The simple yet refined combination of honey's sweetness, nutty crunch, and warm spicy notes creates a harmony of flavors reminiscent of an autumn day by the fireplace. This dish can be found in culinary traditions of various countries, prepared for holidays or just for a cozy evening. The tender apple flesh infused with aromatic spices pairs excellently with nuts and raisins, while caramelized honey adds a unique depth of flavor. The dish is perfect served warm right after baking and pairs well with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a spoonful of thick yogurt. It not only delights the taste but also fills the home with a wonderful aroma that awakens the appetite and warms the soul.

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and bake until the apples are very soft (the time depends on the variety and size of the fruits). Occasionally drizzle them with syrup — the result will be even better. Do not wait for them to cool!
