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.
