Warm Baked Apples Filled with Marzipan

Nothing says winter comfort quite like a classic German Bratapfel – a baked apple dessert that fills your home with the scent of cinnamon, vanilla, and roasted nuts. Juicy apples are filled with a warm mixture of marzipan, walnuts, cranberries, honey, and spices, then baked until soft and golden. A sprinkle of crushed pistachios on top adds the perfect crunch and colour. This traditional German winter dessert is ideal for Christmas, festive dinners, or a cozy Sunday afternoon treat. Serve it warm with vanilla sauce or ice cream for a comforting and aromatic holiday dessert that’s easy to prepare and simply irresistible.
