Ingredients
- 7 oz (200 g) walnuts, chopped or blended
- 1 1/2 tsp sesame seeds (7 g)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon (3 g)
- 3 tbsp honey (45 ml)
- 4 medium apples
- 1 small wheel Camembert cheese, about 4.4 oz (125 g)
- 1 tsp honey (5 ml), optional for drizzling
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Walnuts
Rinse the walnuts under cold water and pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel. Chop them finely or pulse them in a food processor until roughly crushed.
Step 2: Make the Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped walnuts, sesame seeds, ground cinnamon, and honey. Stir well until the mixture becomes sticky and evenly coated.
Step 3: Prepare the Apples
Wash the apples thoroughly. Slice off the tops and carefully hollow out the center using a spoon or melon baller, making space for the filling while leaving the bottom intact.
Step 4: Fill the Apples
Place the hollowed apples into the air fryer basket. Spoon the walnut mixture into each apple, packing it gently so the filling stays in place. If desired, drizzle a little extra honey on top.
Step 5: Cook the Apples
Preheat the air fryer to 180°C (356°F). Cook the stuffed apples for 13 minutes until they begin to soften and the filling becomes fragrant.
Step 6: Prepare the Camembert
Score the top of the Camembert wheel with a knife to help it melt evenly. Place it in the air fryer and drizzle lightly with honey if desired. Cook at 180°C (356°F) for 10 minutes until the cheese becomes soft and creamy.
Step 7: Assemble and Serve
Remove the apples from the air fryer and spoon a generous portion of the melted Camembert over each stuffed apple. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
