Instructions

Cut the apples in half and core, then arrange them into an oven-proof dish.
In a small bowl, combine the chopped walnuts, cinnamon, brown sugar, maple syrup and melted butter.
Stuff the apples on the mixture, then place them on an oven-proof dish. Divide the filling evenly between each half.
Mix the corn flour with a cup of water, and add it to the dish (if not using corn flour, just add the water), then bake in the preheated oven at 200 degrees C (390 degrees Fahrenheit) covered with a kitchen foil for 20 minutes, then uncovered for a further 20-30 minutes or until the apples are tender, but still holding their shape.
Serve either warm or cold with the caramel sauce left in the dish after baking.

Notes

These delicious baked apples already have a sauce which can be poured over when serving them. It's such a flavourful caramel sauce with a delicate apple flavour. And it's all made at without any extra prep or effort.
But if you want to take these baked apples to the very next level, serve them with a nice vanilla ice cream in order to get a complete restaurant-style dessert. Or a nice homemade custard. Whoever said that apples are boring?
