I'm allergic to cherries. Can I substitute another fruit?

I followed the recipe exactly and the apples turned out mushy. I think I would cook them for less time next time.

These baked apples were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would use less maple syrup next time.

I'm not usually a fan of baked apples, but these were really good. The apples were soft and juicy, and the sauce was sweet and flavorful. I will definitely be making these again.
