Here's one idea: Ingredients: 4 large apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp); 1/4 cup brown sugar; 1 tsp ground cinnamon; 1/4 cup chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans); 2 tbsp melted butter; vanilla ice cream or whipped cream (optional, for serving). Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish. Wash and core the apples, leaving the bottoms intact to create a well for the filling. In a small bowl mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped nuts. Place the cored apples in the baking dish and fill each apple with the brown sugar mixture. Drizzle the melted butter over the top of each apple. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake the apples for about 45 minutes or until the apples are soft.
