  1. Made this today. Apples turned out mushy and pretty much dissolved, but the roast was delicious. I will make this again.

  2. Thanks, Angie. The apples tend to get a little soft, but how soft will often depend on the type of apple used. To keep apples from getting too mushy, you can add them later in the cooking process and/or choose crisp apples instead of apples commonly used for baking. Glad you enjoyed the roast!
