Fruit is topped with a honey-sweetened nut-sesame mixture and drizzled with a tahini sauce for a low-effort fall dessert
Some of my sweetest food memories revolve around apples. Life was often a struggle for my family when I was growing up, between financial pressures and my parents’ strained marriage, but during our annual apple-picking outings, stress gave way to joy and togetherness, and the big batches of applesauce we’d whip up afterward made those good feelings linger.
This homey recipe holds those heartfelt memories while reflecting the flavors I yearn for here and now. In it, sweet apples are halved and cored, then slathered with olive oil and honey, sprinkled with cinnamon and baked until they are tender, and the kitchen is as delightfully fragrant as I remember my grandmother’s to be. You can use just about any variety of sweet apples that hold their shape with cooking.
Given how little effort these apples require, it’s even more delightful that they look so elegant plated and make an ideal coda to a meal, satisfying a sweet tooth in a healthful way.
