8. Add half of the apple mixture on top.

12. Turn it out on a wire rack and allow it to cool completely.
13. Sprinkle the ¼ cup of confectioners’ sugar on top.

Notes:

• • It is better to peel the apple because they become softer and they caramelize once they are baked in the oven.
  • Allow it to cool as much as possible once it is baked so that it does not break while cutting.
