I love serving these baked apples with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. It's the perfect finishing touch.

These baked apples are a great make-ahead dessert. You can make them the day before and then just reheat them when you're ready to serve.

I've made this recipe with different types of apples, and they all turn out great. My favorite is Granny Smith apples, but Honeycrisp and Pink Lady apples also work well.
