Swedish Baked Apples With Almond Paste Filling are a beloved Scandinavian dessert that is typically enjoyed during the winter months. The recipe calls for baking apples, which are filled with almond paste, a sweet filling made of almonds and sugar. The apples are then seasoned with a bit of cinnamon to add additional flavor. The warm, baked apple aroma fills the air, and the crumbly almond paste filling adds a delightful texture to this delectable dessert. It is usually served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, making it the perfect comfort food on a cold winter evening.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 375°F (190 °C).
2.	Begin by preparing the apples. Cut off the top of each apple, removing the core and seeds enough to make a hollow.
3.	In a separate bowl, mix the almond paste with melted butter and dried breadcrumbs.
4.	Fill the apples with the almond paste mixture.
5.	Bake the apples in the preheated oven until tender and the filling has turned golden brown, about 35-40 minutes. Serve while still hot.
