For a new twist on stuffed baked apples, cut the fruit hasselback-style and fill the crevices with a ginger-laced fruit-and-nut mixture. You can also use this recipe to make Cranberry-Stuffed Hasselback Pears: Prepare as directed, except substitute two 8-oz. Bartlett pears for the apples. Halve, core, and slice as directed. Decrease roasting time to 15 minutes.

Ingredients
- 2 large red cooking apples, such as Braeburn, Honeycrisp, or Gala
- ¼ cup chopped dried cranberries
- 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped crystallized ginger
- 2 teaspoons orange zest
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Halve and core apples. Place cut sides down on cutting board. Arrange wooden skewers or chopsticks lengthwise on opposite sides of each apple half. Cut apple halves crosswise into ¼-inch slices, stopping when knife reaches skewers (to prevent slicing all the way through).
- Place apples in a 2-qt. rectangular baking dish. Cover with foil. Bake 20 minutes.
- In a bowl stir together the remaining ingredients. Remove apples from oven; remove foil. Spoon cranberry mixture between apple slices and over the tops of apples. Bake, uncovered, 3 to 5 minutes more or until heated through.
