Indulge in Warm & Comforting Baked Apples

There’s something magical about the aroma of baked apples coming from the kitchen! With just a handful of ingredients, you can transform fresh apples into a soft, cinnamon-spiced delight perfect on its own or topped with a scoop of Greek yogurt or vanilla ice cream. Baked apples can be served as a dessert or for breakfast.

Use one sweet apple per person – preferably a Fuji or Royal Gala apple. We recommend baking and serving your apples in our new square Indulgence Baker in Sage. This practical and contemporary dish is a magnificent way to present savoury or sweet dishes straight from the oven to the table.
