Baked apples
By Caterina
Baked apples are a simple and delicate dessert, ideal for ending a light meal on a sweet note without overdoing the sugar. They have always been a substitute for elaborate desserts, enjoyed daily by those of us with a sweet tooth. Josephine, for example, never finished a meal without a sweet treat! These apples were a low-calorie alternative to the desserts she loved.
