This spin on stuffed baked apples has much less added sugar than the traditional version, with just a little maple syrup drizzled on top, and a walnut filling sweetened with finely chopped dates. The dried fruit melds in seamlessly with cooking so you don’t even realize it’s there — you just get its sweet essence punctuated with the aroma of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves.
