Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Core apples with small knife or apple corer and place in large glass baking dish.
  • In a small bowl, combine butter, walnuts, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and sweetener of choice. (Stevia is my calorie free favorite but feel free to use brown sugar if you wish.)
  • Stuff apples with equal parts of the butter and walnut mixture.
  • Pour apple cider in the bottom of the pan to prevent burning and place in oven.
  • Bake for 45-60 minutes or until apples are tender, basting with pan liquid every 15 minutes.
  • Serve with apple cider cooking liquid drizzled on top. Tastes even better a la mode.
