- Remove from the oven and allow the walnuts to cool completely.
- Once the walnuts have completely cooled add them to a food processor and blend for 15 minutes until they become a creamy nut butter.
- Transfer the nut butter to a jar. Store in a cool dark place and eat within 4 weeks.
To make the maple walnuts
- Pour the maple syrup into a small frying pan and gently heat until bubbles start to appear.
- Add the walnuts and continue to cook until they are completely coated and become sticky.
- Transfer the maple walnuts to a bowl. Slice the apple into segments and place on a plate.
- Squeeze over a little lemon juice to prevent them from browning.
