Note
For best results, use apples that hold their shape well when baked, such as Rome, Gala, or Honeycrisp, in addition to McIntosh.
If you do not have cornflake crumbs, you can substitute with crushed graham crackers or oats for a different texture.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
For a dairy-free version, ensure your margarine is plant-based and serve with a coconut yogurt alternative.
