Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. Softer apples like Red Delicious or Gala will not hold their shape as well.
  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you make clean, precise cuts.
  • Work quickly: The apples will start to brown once they are cut, so work quickly to assemble the crowns.
  • Be careful not to overfill the crowns: The apples should be packed tightly, but not so tightly that they burst out of the crowns.
  • Bake the crowns until they are golden brown: The crowns should be baked until they are golden brown and the apples are tender.

Crisscross apple crowns are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a special occasion or a simple weeknight treat.
