Notes

Choose naturally sweet apples to get the best flavor without needing added sugar. Be careful not to overbake them, as this can make the apples mushy instead of tender. You can add chopped dates for extra natural sweetness and a richer taste. Serve them warm for the best texture and most comforting experience. Greek yogurt can be added for extra protein and a creamy finish. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator to keep them fresh.
