Preheat the oven to 160°C.
Roughly chop nuts and place on a baking tray. Bake in oven for 5-10 minutes or until golden. Remove from tray and cool. Remove the core from the apples and make a thin slit around the middle, using a paring knife. Remove the stones from the dates, and chop 3 of them in half, pushing 1 half into the base of the apple (to hold the filing). roughly chop the remaining dates, and mix with the nuts, butter, ground cinnamon and sugar. Push this mixture into the middle of the apples, then insert a cinnamon stick into each. Bake for 25 minutes or until the apples are just soft. Serve warm with Organic cream or ice cream.
