Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Total time: 35 minutes
Servings: 10

Ingredients:
- 10 large apples (preferably varieties like Golden or Granny Smith)
- 20 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 cup of ground walnuts
- 2 teaspoons of cinnamon
- 1/2 cup of raisins
- water (enough to reach halfway up the apples)

For the cream:
- 2 tablespoons of cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon of flour
- 1 cup of sugar
- 2 packets of vanilla sugar
- 750 ml of milk
- 1 tablespoon of butter

Preparation:

1. Prepare the apples: Start by peeling the apples, being careful not to damage their shape. Use a sharp knife or a peeler to achieve an even peel. After peeling the apples, core them using a spoon or a special tool, carefully removing the seeds. Leave the base of each apple intact so they can be filled.

2. Fill the apples: In each apple, add 2 tablespoons of sugar and sprinkle cinnamon, which will add a warm and comforting flavor. These flavors will blend perfectly during cooking, providing a divine taste.

3. Boil the apples: Place the apples in a deep pot with a lid, ensuring they do not overlap. Add water until it reaches halfway up the apples. Put the pot over medium heat and cover with a lid. Boil the apples for about 20 minutes, until they become tender but do not fall apart. A good idea is to check the apples after 15 minutes – some varieties cook faster!

4. Prepare the vanilla cream: In another pot, mix the cornstarch, flour, sugar, and vanilla sugar. Gradually add the milk, whisking to avoid lumps. Place the pot over heat and continue to stir constantly until the cream thickens. Once it reaches the desired consistency, remove from heat and add the butter, stirring well to incorporate.

5. Fill the apples: Once the apples are boiled and tender, carefully remove them and place them on a serving platter. Fill each apple with ground walnuts and raisins, which will provide a crunchy texture and a pleasant contrast to the softness of the apples.

6. Finish the dessert: Generously pour the vanilla cream over each apple. This step is essential to create a delicious combination between the sweet apples and the rich cream. Allow the dessert to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate it to chill completely.

7. Serving and variations: These apples with vanilla cream are delicious served cold, and for a touch of extravagance, you can add a caramel sauce on top or vanilla ice cream on the side. You can also experiment with other fillings, such as fine chocolate or coconut flakes. It’s a versatile dessert that can be tailored to your tastes!

Helpful tips:
- If you prefer firmer apples, you can leave the skin on. This will not only add texture but also an attractive appearance.
- Choose fresh, firm apples for the best results. Softer apples may turn to mush during boiling.
- You can replace the vanilla cream with instant vanilla pudding for an even quicker version.

Nutritional benefits:
Apples are rich in fiber, vitamins (especially vitamin C), and antioxidants, contributing to a healthy diet. Walnuts add protein and healthy fats, while raisins are an excellent source of energy.

Frequently asked questions:
- Can I use frozen apples? It is recommended to use fresh apples, but if you have frozen apples, make sure to fully thaw them before using.
- How long do these apples last in the fridge? These apples can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days, but it’s best to consume them as soon as possible to enjoy their flavor.
