Notes
One pound apples = 3 medium apples = 3 cups sliced apples. This is good information to know at the grocery store. Favorite varieties of apples for baking are Jonathan, Granny Smith, Braeburn, and Golden Delicious. Any tart apple works well. Arrange the apples around the outside edge of the dish for more even cooking in the microwave. Safety Tips: Wash the apples in clear running water before coring. If you have apples left, keep in the fridge for a handy snack later on. Learn more about: Apples
