- Apples
- Provide the main body, which softens and turns tender and sweet-tart as it bakes.
The step that matters
Bake until the apples are softened all the way through. Thick apples can look done on the outside while the centre stays firm. Baking until tender throughout ensures even softening, since heat must travel to the core before the flesh breaks down.
