Cookbook author and baking authority Abby Dodge created this recipe exclusively for Epicurious. “The flavor of this dessert relies on the apples, as they can range from sweet to tart and everything in between,” says Dodge. She recommends using a combination of McIntosh and Golden Delicious apples. The McIntosh variety is sweet and juicy, and breaks down when baked. Golden Delicious apples are more tart; they’ll soften a bit in the oven, but will maintain their shape. Both are readily available, but Macouns are a good substitute for the McIntosh, and Honey Crisp can be used in place of the Golden Delicious.
