Ingredients
  • 6 apples (I used granny smith)
Filling
  • 1 cup coarsely chopped pecans
  • ½ cup chocolate chips or chopped semi-sweet chocolate
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons oil
  • 2 Tablespoons honey
Topping
  • ½ cup red wine (I used semi-sweet)
  • 2 Tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375.
  2. Remove cores from apples and place them in a 9x13 pan. Set aside.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together all of the filling ingredients. Stuff the hole in the center of each apple with filling, then spread the remaining filling mixture in the pan, surrounding the apples.
  4. Whisk together the wine, honey and cinnamon. Pour it over the apples.
  5. Bake at 375 for 60-70 minutes, until the apples are soft.
  6. To serve, spoon a mixture of the sauce that gathers in the bottom of the pan over the apples. Serve hot.
Plan Ahead:
  1. You can make these apples a couple of days ahead of time, and store them in the fridge. Warm up (uncovered), for about 10 minutes, or until hot, before serving.
