Notes
- I used a Macintosh apple
- I used golden raisins instead or “regular”
- As the mixture is thick, stirring in the apples, walnuts and raisins can be difficult. It may be easier to use your hands and gently fold/knead in the ingredients.
- Depending on your oven, you may with to rotate the baking pans halfway through the cooking time.
