Armenian stuffed apples are made with apples stuffed with minced meat, parsley, mint, dill, black pepper, salt, raisins, apricots, walnuts, allspice, cinnamon, sumac, cumin, pomegranade molasses, sautéed onions and garlic.[2]
There also is a meatless variant of the filling that is made from a sauteed mixture of diced apples, diced pears, walnuts, hazelnuts, currants, butter, cinnamon, cloves, and star anise. The hollowed out apples are stuffed with the mixture and baked in the oven. This version may be garnished with powdered sugar and is especially popular in Armenia.[3]
