Notes

What apples are best to use for baked apples?
I love to make these with Honeycrisp, Jonathan, Jonagold, or Granny Smith apples. Jonagolds are a cross between Jonathans and Golden Delicious, and they are so sweet, tart, and crisp. Other great choices would be Rome, Braeburn, Golden Delicious, Northern Spy, and Empire apples.
How should I store baked apples?
You can store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They should keep for 2-3 days.
