Equipment

  • Kitchen Knife - A sharp knife used for cutting fruits like apples into pieces or opening cans of mincemeat.

  • Cutting Board - Provides a safe surface to chop apples, cherries, and walnuts without damaging countertops.

  • Baking Dish (9x13 inch) - Ideal for baking the filled apple halves once they're prepared with mincemeat and other ingredients.

  • Pie Server or Pie Paddle - Useful if you decide to present your apples in a pie-like fashion on serving.

  • Microwave Safe Bowl - Useful for quick preparation steps like heating mincemeat (if using pre-made) before assembly or for mixing ingredients.

  • Measuring Cups and Spoons - Essential for measuring out the ingredients accurately, such as apples, cherries, walnuts, and any spices used in the recipe.

  • Stirring Spoon - Handy for mixing or stirring ingredients together during preparation.

  • Oven Thermometer - To ensure your oven is at the correct temperature before baking.

  • Glass Bakeware (9x13 inch) - If you prefer not to use metal for baking due to personal preference or recipe requirements.
