6. 6. Remove the apples from the oven and garnish with the chopped fresh rosemary.
7. 7. Serve warm, either on their own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of additional honey, if desired.
Notes
For a more decadent treat, you can add a sprinkle of brown sugar or chopped walnuts to the feta-honey-cranberry filling before baking. These baked apples also make a great holiday dessert or a cozy, comforting fall treat.
