Can you bake with bruised apples?

Yes, you can bake with bruised apples, as long as the bruises are not too deep or extensive. If the bruises are shallow and only affect the skin of the apple, you can simply cut them out before using the apples in your recipe. If the bruises are deeper, you may need to remove more of the apple flesh, which could affect the overall weight and volume of the apples you need for your recipe. In general, it's best to use the bruised apples in recipes where the appearance of the apples is not important, such as pies, cakes, or muffins.
