Core the apples and place them in a baking dish.
Add a little water to the dish.
Bake
Cover and bake in a moderate oven at 350°F (175°C) for 1 to 1.5 hours until done.

What each ingredient does
- Apples
- Provide the main body of the dish, softening as they bake into a tender fruit.
- Water
- Creates steam in the covered dish, helping the apples cook gently and stay moist.
The step that matters
Covering and baking until done. Covering traps steam so the apples cook through evenly and stay moist. Baking too briefly leaves the flesh firm, while overbaking can cause the apples to collapse and lose their shape.
