Baked apples with walnuts, raisins, and honey are a refined dessert that embodies the traditions of Russian cuisine. The baked apples become tender and juicy, while their caramelized surface adds a special charm to the dish. The filling of cream, eggs, walnuts, honey, and raisins creates a rich flavor with subtle spicy notes of cinnamon and citrus freshness from lemon zest. This dish is perfect for cozy family evenings as well as festive gatherings. It not only surprises with its simplicity of preparation but also brings true enjoyment through the combination of textures — crunchy nuts, soft apple, and sweet slightly sticky honey. Serving these apples hot can be enhanced with a spoonful of sour cream or vanilla ice cream to amplify their harmonious taste.
