1
Preheat the oven to 350F (180C).
2
In a small bowl, toss together the cherries, almonds, wheat germ, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
3
Set aside.
4
The apples can be left unpeeled, if you like.
5
To peel the apples in a decorative fashion, with a vegetable peeler or a sharp knife, remove the peel from each apple in a circular motion, skipping every other row so that rows of peel alternate with rows of apple flesh.
6
Working from the stem end, core each apple, stopping 3/4 inch from the bottom.
7
Divide the cherry mixture evenly among the apples, pressing the mixture gently into each cavity.
8
Arrange the apples upright in a heavy ovenproof frying pan or small baking dish just large enough to hold them.
9
Pour the apple juice and water into the pan.
10
Drizzle the honey and oil evenly over the apples, and cover the pan snugly with aluminum foil.
11
Bake until the apples are tender when pierced with a knife, 50 to 60 minutes.
12
Transfer the apples to individual plates and drizzle with the pan juices.
13
Serve warm or at room temperature.

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
