   Apples10 min

   

   Add the onion and the apples cut into quarters. Count the time from when you start, and only move on once you get the result described. Amounts for this step: 3 apples; 1 onion.

   Carve and surround with the meltingly soft apples. Weigh everything first, then cut pieces of the same size so they cook evenly. Keep the trimmings aside until the end, in case you need to adjust. Amount for this step: 3 apples.
