Step-by-Step Instructions
To begin, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). While that’s warming up, I love to get started on the filling. I peel and chop the apples into small cubes, which allows them to cook through and blend beautifully with the other flavors. In a mixing bowl, I toss the apple pieces with cinnamon, nutmeg, and half of the caramel sauce. The cozy smell of spiced apples already has my heart fluttering at this point!
