Tips for Success
Choose the Right Apples
Softer apples like Fuji or Gala are naturally sweet and bake well, but you can use tart varieties like Granny Smith for a more complex flavor.
Customize Add-ins
Substitute raisins with dried cranberries or apricots for a unique twist. Almonds or pecans work great in place of walnuts.
Soaking Raisins
Soaking raisins enhances their flavor and ensures they stay plump and juicy during baking.
Oat Flakes Texture
Use quick oats for a softer texture or rolled oats for a heartier bite.
Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
