Preparation

• Prepare the apples 🍎 ‌ Peel the apples and remove the cores carefully, keeping the apples whole. Rub them with a little lemon juice so they stay bright. ‌
• Make the syrup 🍯 ‌ Add water, honey, lemon juice, lemon peel, vanilla, and salt to a wide pot. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. ‌
• Poach gently ✨ ‌ Add the apples to the syrup. Simmer gently for 12 min, turning once, until tender but still holding their shape. Do not overcook them. ‌
• Cool the apples ❄ ‌ Lift the apples onto a tray. Simmer the syrup for 8 min more so it becomes slightly glossy, then let both apples and syrup cool for 20 min. ‌
• Toast the walnuts 🌰 ‌ Toast the walnuts in a dry pan for 4 min, stirring often, until fragrant. Cool for 5 min, then chop finely. ‌
• Mix the filling 🥣 ‌ Combine walnuts, honey, cinnamon, lemon juice, warm milk or apple syrup, and vanilla. Mix until moist, thick, and spoonable. ‌
• Fill the apples 🍎 ‌ Spoon the walnut filling into each apple cavity. Press lightly so the filling holds, but keep the top generous and rustic. ‌
• Finish with cream 🍰 ‌ Whip the cream with honey for 1 min, until softly thickened. Spoon a little cream over each apple or serve it on the side. ‌
• Serve glossy ✨ ‌ Place each apple in a small bowl, spoon syrup around it, dust with cinnamon, and finish with chopped walnuts. Serve chilled or lightly cool.
