Notes
Be careful, don't leave the apples too long in the oven. They should be fork-tender when cooked. If they stay too much time in the oven, they will become mushy and fall apart.
Baking time varies according to the apples' size, our apples were big-sized, and they took approximately 30 minutes to cook. They should be fork soft when they're ready.
These baked apples can be customizable too! Add any ingredients you like to the filling to change it up a bit. You can add dried fruit, granola, dark chocolate chips, jam, or nut butter.
