Apples stuffed with caramelized plums
Description
I suggest making the lid for the apples from ready-made puff pastry—it will look very festive and even more delicious! You can add your favorite spices to the filling, for example, a bit of cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg. The magical aroma will fill your home!

Step 2
Cut off the top of the apple, and using a knife or spoon (a melon baller works well), remove the core and some of the flesh to create an apple cup. Set aside the flesh from inside the apple and from the removed top.

Step 4
Break the walnut into small pieces and place in a dry skillet. Fry for 1 minute, then add the apple pulp and cook for another 2–3 minutes. Finally, add the plum and sugar, and simmer for 3–4 minutes, stirring constantly. You will get a delicious, fruity-nut caramelized mixture.

Step 5
Place the apples in a baking dish and fill with the filling. Drizzle each apple with about 0.5 tsp of honey for flavor.

Step 6
Make lids from puff pastry. I decided to make them in a lattice pattern, but if you don't have time, you can simply cut out circles slightly larger in diameter than the apples. Bake at 200 degrees for 18–20 minutes until the pastry turns nicely golden brown.
