Good to know

Chef's tip

For perfect baking, lightly score the skin of the apples around the side before putting them in the oven: this keeps them from bursting and ensures even cooking 🔪🔥

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Yes

Freezes very well, up to 3 months in airtight containers or freezer bags.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Keeps 3 to 4 days max in an airtight container in the fridge.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

The apples can be assembled the day before and kept chilled before baking.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Ideally 10-15 min in the oven at 160-180°C to regain texture. Microwave possible but it slightly softens the apple flesh.

Variations

Drizzle with honey when they come out of the oven.
Use Golden-type baking apples.
Add a small knob of butter on each apple.

Mistakes to avoid

Piercing the bottom of the apples: core them while keeping the bottom intact.
Forgetting the water in the dish: pour in 100 ml of water.
Taking them out too soon: the flesh should be tender through to the center.
