Tips

  • Use a sharp knife to cut the apples evenly. This will help them hold their shape better when they are baked.
  • Be sure to coat the apples with lemon juice before baking. This will help prevent them from browning.
  • Bake the apples until they are tender but still hold their shape. Overbaking will make them mushy.
  • Let the apples cool slightly before serving. This will make them easier to handle.
