Baked Caramelized Apples Twist

Apples halved and baked under amber caramel, chill then serve with creamy Greek-style coconut yogurt, fresh raspberries, pomegranate seeds, and toasted coconut granola. Sugar caramelizes with water to amber stage, coating fruit that softens but holds shape. Chilling firms texture; yogurt adds cooling tang. Fresh fruit bursts counterbalance sweet, nutty granola brings texture. Swap brown sugar for white or try maple syrup caramel. Pear or quince can replace apples for seasonal shift. Timing based on color, softness, aroma. Covered baking traps steam, keeps fruit tender. Cooling critical—too warm yogurt melts, too cold dulls flavors. Visual and tactile cues guide doneness—caramel dark and thick, apples fork tender but intact.
