Ingredients
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup chopped pecans
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 4 sweet cooking apples
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ½ cup white wine
  • ¼ cup apple juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 F.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, chopped pecans, cinnamon, cardamom and nutmeg.
  3. Core the apples, removing the stem and the center but making sure to leave roughly ½-inch intact at the bottom of each apple. Use a knife to remove any remaining visible seeds from the apples.
  4. Place the apples in a baking dish, and using a teaspoon, fill the holes in each apple with the spiced sugar and pecan mixture.
  5. Cut the butter into 4 pieces, and place a chunk of butter on the top of each apple.
  6. Mix the apple juice and white wine, then pour this into the base of the baking dish.
  7. Drizzle the honey over the top of the apples, then place them in the oven to bake for 45 minutes.
  8. Remove the apples from the oven and allow them to cool for 10 minutes. Serve them warm with ice cream, if desired.
