Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use a variety of apples that are firm and tart, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn. This will ensure that the apples hold their shape and don't become too mushy when baked.
  • Peel and slice the apples thinly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming too thick and chewy.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the casserole tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the casserole until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Let the casserole cool slightly before serving: This will help it set and make it easier to cut.
