Soak the dried apples in warm water for 10 minutes.
Toss the apples with the tahini, honey, and cinnamon.
Spread the mixture in a small baking dish.
Bake the dessert at 180°C for 15 minutes.
Sprinkle the walnuts on just before serving so their texture does not harden.
💡 Tip: Arranging the apples in a single layer in the baking dish lets the tahini spread evenly.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve warm, sprinkled with walnuts on top.
