Notes
- Measurements: I always recommend using a digital kitchen scale (the Amazon affiliate link opens in a new tab) in baking; it guarantees the best results. I also measured all the ingredients in cups, but I still recommend using a scale.
- Apples: Choose sweet and tart apples that hold their shape during baking, such as Gala, Fuji, Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Pink Lady.
- Olive oil: Choose mild or fruity extra virgin olive oil, not something too strong or flavorful. They are usually labeled as “mild” or “fruity”.
