Recipe Note
Recipe Notes
Galil gives the baked apples a sweet savory seasoning that works well as both a dessert or side dish. The baked apples also work well with many of the spices we have in the collection including Reims or Baharat for a warm cinnamon-y vibe or go bright and lemony with Circumade. Depending on what dish you are serving it with you could also match the blend to what you are using on the main course.
In place of the vermouth, you could use lemon juice, white wine, or even bourbon to match the flavors with what you are pairing.
Variations and Ideas
Serve with ice cream, a dollop of labne, or as a side dish to savory dishes.
