Notes
*While you can definitely make this without peeling the apple, I’m not too fond of the texture of the skin once it’s been cooked. It does, however make for good pictures!
**Depending on the sweetness of the apples and the sweetness you prefer, you can either add more sugar or no sugar at all.
