Notes

We like tart apples in this recipe, such as Granny Smith. Any variety will do, but sweet apples will make for an overly sweet dessert. Other good options include pink lady, braeburn, and honeycrisp as they hold up well to baking.

Best served with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream on top! Drizzle with caramel sauce for a real treat.
