If you do decide to use this variety, then you must drizzle the slices with some maple syrup or honey before you bake them. Doing this will enhance the flavor of these apple slices in no time.

So, leave the apples unpeeled, and enjoy this recipe in the best way possible. Once you make this for the first time, you will want to keep on making it. Just make sure to use the right variety of apples that you think provides the ideal taste.
