Baked Apples with Ginger, Dates, and Walnuts

There are a lot of rather timid recipes for baked apples out there, but this one, packed with spicy ginger and sweet dates, is a twist on the usual homey fare.

These apples also make an eye-opening breakfast when you’re weary of the same old eggs-and-toast routine.
