- Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the mixture in each hollowed out apple and place the reserved tops on the filling (any unused filling can be refrigerated for up to 1 day). Serve cold or at room temperature.

Tips:
- For the Pozole Verde, use a flavorful broth made from chicken, pork, or vegetables. Add a variety of chiles, such as guajillo, ancho, and pasilla, for a complex flavor. Simmer the pozole for several hours to allow the flavors to meld.
- For the Tamales de Rajas con Queso, use fresh corn masa for the best flavor and texture. Roast the poblano peppers over an open flame or under a broiler until blackened, then peel and devein them. Shred the chicken or pork and combine it with the roasted poblanos, cheese, and salsa. Spread the filling on the masa and roll up the tamales.
- For the Enchiladas Rojas, make a flavorful enchilada sauce by simmering tomatoes, chiles, and spices. Dip the corn tortillas in the sauce and then fill them with your favorite fillings, such as shredded chicken, cheese, or beans. Top the enchiladas with more sauce and cheese, and bake until bubbly and golden brown.
- For the Arroz con Pollo, use a flavorful chicken broth and add a variety of vegetables, such as carrots, celery, and onions. Season the rice with garlic, cumin, and oregano. Cook the rice until it is tender and fluffy.
- For the Flan, use fresh eggs and milk for the best flavor and texture. Strain the custard mixture through a fine-mesh sieve before baking to remove any lumps. Bake the flan in a water bath to prevent it from curdling.
