Directions
- Preheat the oven to 225 °C.
- Thoroughly wash the dirt apples to completely clean them. ≈ 8 min
- Apply olive oil to the apple’s skin, either by hand or with a brush. ≈ 3 min
- Lightly salt and pepper the surface. ≈ 2 min
- Use a fork to prick the surface of the apples. The holes allow the steam to escape.
- Cover the aluminum foil, place the apples on top, and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until tender.
- Every 20 minutes, check for doneness by inserting a fork: the skin should be dry and the inside should be tender.
- Remove the apples from the oven and, while they are still warm, make a cut in the middle of each with a knife. Squeeze them gently between your thumb and index finger to slightly crush them and release the steam.
- Serve hot with butter, sour cream, grated cheese, salt, black pepper, chili flakes, steamed broccoli, sautéed mushrooms, or any other vegetable and your favorite sauce.
