Step 4: Bake
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes. The top should turn golden and the center should be set, meaning it no longer jiggles when gently shaken.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let the bake cool slightly for a few minutes. This brief resting time helps the structure settle, making it easier to slice or scoop while also concentrating the flavors.
Timing
- Prep: 10 minutes
- Bake: 30 minutes
- Total: 40 minutes
Tips for Success
Choose your preferred apple variety—tart apples add brightness while sweeter ones make the bake more dessert-like. Serve warm or chilled, and for additional indulgence, finish with a drizzle of honey, a spoonful of yogurt, or even a sprinkle of extra nuts for crunch.
