Ingredients

• Dried apples - 4 pieces
• Walnuts - 50 grams, chopped
• Almonds - 25 grams, chopped
• Cinnamon - 1 teaspoon
• Sugar - 100 grams
• Water - 250 ml
• Vanilla extract - 1/2 teaspoon
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Cloves - 2 whole

Steps

1. Begin by rinsing the dried apples under cold water to remove any dust. Soak them in warm water for about 15 minutes to soften.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped walnuts, chopped almonds, cinnamon, and a tablespoon of sugar. Mix well to create the filling.
3. Once the apples have softened, carefully remove them from the water and pat them dry. Stuff each apple with the nut mixture, pressing gently to fill them well.
4. In a saucepan, combine the remaining sugar, water, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and cloves. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves.
5. Add the stuffed apples to the syrup and simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking and absorption of the syrup.
6. Once the apples are tender and well-coated with syrup, remove them from the heat and let them cool slightly before serving.
