Recipe notes

Any medium-sized dessert apples are suitable. For a sweeter apple choose a variety such as Gala or Golden Delicious, and for something a little tarter choose Braeburn or Granny Smith.

Use up to 12 small apples or 8 medium-size apples.

For fan-assisted ovens, you may need to reduce the oven temperature setting by 10-20°C.

Delicious served with Cornish clotted cream or vanilla dairy ice cream.
