How big were the apples? If you used larger apples, that might be the issue. Your oven temp could also be off. I’d love to help – please let me know how they came out!

Sorry to hear you weren’t a fan Lisa. What was dry? the apples? the topping? We just made this last week and didn’t have an issue. Did you bake them covered?

I usually don’t add water to the pan. I’d honestly just microwave it, I think that will be easiest way to reheat but you could put it in the oven. Makes ure you’re not putting a cold ceramic pan into your oven as it could crack. I would cut the apple in half and it should warm up in 5-10 minutes. Hope that helps!

P.S. I am about to reheat a couple. I imagine they should be reheated at 400 degrees. Any idea for how long? And should liquid be added to the pan again?
Thanks again!

19G of natural sugars is not unhealthy, at all. There is no recommended daily limit on natural sugars, like those found in fruit, because there are no health risks associated with these sugars. They’re just natural and healthy carbohydrates. Plus, apples have a good amount of fiber as well. As long as you’re not going overboard on carbs, you don’t have to worry about the natural sugars in fruits, vegetables, milk, etc. These baked apples would only have 4 grams of added sugar from the maple syrup. Adults should limit themselves to 24-36 grams of added sugar a day. These baked apples can definitely fit into a healthy well-rounded diet. You can leave out the maple syrup if you’re concerned about added sugars. The natural sugar from the apples is not unhealthy, though. Unless you think fruits are unhealthy.

On average a plain apple has 19g of naturally occurring sugar, so there’s not really much I can do to reduce the amount of sugar in fruit. I have comments go to moderation before they’re posted publicly to make sure people don’t leave inappropriate comments on my website.
