Three tries got varying results: The 1st go was outstanding; the 2nd was blah. The difference? At first, I (accidentally) left the apples in for an hour or so after turning off the hot oven, but on try 2, I removed them as directed. The 3rd time, I again left the apples in the cooling oven, and the results were great. Without burning, the diminishing heat caramelized the apples, enhanced rosemary flavor, added buttery texture--even with no fat added--and lifted the dish to extraordinary.
Doesn’t need the extra sugar. The rosemary is a fun addition. Didn’t bother peeling the apples, gives a lovely rosy hue.
I added the brown sugar with the rosemary; left in the oven after turning it off as per other note and did not mash the apples. Absolutely delicious. Best applesauce/baked apples ever. Tart apple mix & rosemary were magic.
2021, January. Made this to have with pork chops. Loved it!
