Dietary Apple Dessert
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Apples respond well to heat treatment—they keep their shape while cooking through completely. You can bake apples as halves or make little "pouches." Fill them with fresh or frozen fruits and berries, nuts, dried fruits, or cottage cheese. Choose firm, undamaged, and not overripe apples. Serve the finished dessert immediately.

4. I bake the apples in a preheated oven at 200 degrees for about 20 minutes. If the apples are very firm, I pour one teaspoon of water into each one.
