Baked apples with cream
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. For baking with cream, it's best to use firm, tart apples without any signs of spoilage. Apples can be baked either in individual molds or in one large baking dish. If desired, they can be topped with berries, nuts, or, as I do, with mint leaves. The finished dessert can be served at the table.
