Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
2
Core the two apples from the top, leaving the base intact, and widen the cavity slightly with a teaspoon to hold the filling.
3
In a small bowl, mix the chopped walnuts with half the honey, the melted butter, and the ground cinnamon.
4
Stand the apples in a small baking dish, pack the walnut mixture into each cavity, and drizzle the remaining honey over the tops.
5
Pour the water into the base of the dish to stop the honey catching, then bake for 30-35 minutes until the apples are tender but still holding their shape.
6
Baste the apples once halfway through with the pan juices.
7
Let the apples rest for 5 minutes, then transfer to two bowls and spoon over the pan juices.
8
Top each apple with a dollop of chilled Greek yogurt and a final drizzle of honey just before serving.
