Baked Russet apples with cinnamon and Port
Hello! Do you like baked apples ? Of course, you do. My favorite apples to bake are "maçã reinetas " . In the English language, it translates to Russet apples, and they are easy to recognize because they have rough and dull skin. Egremont Russet is a classic English russet apple from the Victorian era. The skin is entirely covered with "russet", which feels like very fine sandpaper. The pulp has a sweet flavor and a tendency to flour and is yellow in color. Not all russet apple varieties are the same in appearance, taste, or texture. Even the term "russet" is not clearly defined. When peeled you can eat it in salads for example, and they are also a popular partner for cheese.
