When you think of classic German desserts, apple strudel and Black Forest cake might come to mind, but there's another German dessert that's just as delicious and easy to make: baked apples. This traditional dessert is made with tart apples that are peeled, cored, and filled with a mixture of sugar, cinnamon, and raisins. The apples are then baked until they are tender and caramelized. Baked apples can be served warm or cold, and they can be topped with whipped cream, ice cream, or yogurt. They're also a great addition to a fall or winter dessert buffet.
