Notes

  • Baking dish: Any baking dish that is of comparable size, or a small cast iron skillet, can be used.
  • Apples: Choose a good baking apple such as Honeycrisp, Pink Lady, Braeburn, Granny Smith, or Cortland. 
  • Feel free to use a different fruit. Use all apples, or all blueberries. Instead of blueberries, try cherries, raspberries, or strawberries. Instead of apples, try pears, plums (unpeeled), peaches or nectarines. Fresh or frozen fruit may be used.
