These juicy, baked apples ooze with a sweetness and crunch that is hard to resist.

directions

1. Preheat oven to 375.° 
2. Wash and core apples. 
3. Pureé miso and tahini in a suribachi or whisk them together in a small bowl. 
4. Add walnuts. Mash with a fork, or leave chunky, if you prefer.
5. Divide filling into 4 parts. Spoon into the center of each apple.
6. Place filled apples in a baking dish. Pour water around them to steam-bake in the oven.
7. Bake uncovered at 375° until fork-tender, about 20 minutes. 

cook's tip

If you do not have an apple corer, slice apples in half. Remove
   core. Place halves skin-side down and proceed with the recipe.
