When it comes to baking apples — especially with this dessert, where structure is so important — not every variety will work. Hasselback apples work best with very firm apple varieties, like Honeycrisp and Pink Lady. These apples are sturdy enough to hold their shape during baking, whereas other varieties — such as Cortland or McIntosh — will cook down too much during baking, leaving. When baked, the apple opens like a fan and the sweet cinnamon, oat and brown sugar streusel melts in between each slice for one tasty dessert. Topped with ice cream of course… and maybe a little caramel.
