Chef's Narrative

Nuts, dried fruit, and spices fill these soft and luscious baked apples. Experiment with different varieties of apples, we like Gala, Jonagold and McIntosh. You can mix and match the dried fruit, spices and nuts to create your favorite combination. Serve warm with a dollop of Greek yogurt on top.

Recipe Substitutions

Any dried, unsweetened fruit can be used in place of the apricots. Use any nut and try different combinations of your favorite spices.
