Baking With Dorie: Fruit-Nut-and-Honey Baked Apples

hi Dorie

This is regarding the coconut domes

since i can get fresh grated coconut from the local market (Singapore), do i need to squeeze the coconut milk out before soaking it in the fresh milk?

thanks :)

Baking With Dorie: Fruit-Nut-and-Honey Baked Apples

These will work perfectly for my single-serving needs. I seem to like baked apples even more than apple dumplings.

Baking With Dorie: Fruit-Nut-and-Honey Baked Apples

I am going to try these simply and solely because my mother used to make baked apples all the time. I have wonderful memories of the aroma and love them hot out of the oven. To my knowledge, baking is about the only use for a Rome apple. (LOL) I love Galas as an all-purpose apple and I also like to cook with Granny Smiths (but rarely eat those out of hand).

OT but I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your T-Giving Twofer Pie and I suspect it will become a "staple" dessert for the holidays. Excellent flavor and an almost "fudgy" mouthfeel. Simply incredible.

Syunne, I've never used fresh coconut for these, so I'm not really sure what you need to do. Here's what I think I would do -- I'd squeeze out the milk and then I'd measure the amount of coconut milk you get and, if it's less than 1/3 cup (the amount of fresh milk in the recipe), I'd bring it up to 1/3 cup with fresh milk. My guess is that if you do this, you'll have the right amount of liquid and you might get even more coconut flavor. Let me know how it goes.
