This Baked Cinnamon Apple Slices recipe offers a warm and comforting dessert featuring tender apple slices coated in a sweet cinnamon-spiced mixture. Perfectly baked to bring out the natural sweetness of the apples, this treat can be served on its own or enhanced with caramel sauce or vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale

Apples

  • 4 medium Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples, cored and sliced (about 4 cups)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Spice & Sweeteners

  • ½ cup brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (freshly ground recommended)
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

Fat

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the apple slices.
  2. Coat Apples with Lemon Juice: In a large bowl, toss the cored and sliced apples with lemon juice until all slices are evenly coated. This prevents browning and adds a slight tartness.
  3. Add Sugar and Spices: Add brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and melted butter to the apples. Mix thoroughly so every slice is coated evenly with the sweet and spiced mixture.
  4. Arrange in Baking Dish: Grease a baking dish lightly and arrange the apple slices inside, overlapping slightly for an attractive presentation.
  5. Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the edges of the apple slices turn golden brown and the apples become tender.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the baked apple slices to cool slightly before serving. Optionally, drizzle with caramel sauce or serve with vanilla ice cream to enhance flavor.

Notes

  • Use tart apple varieties like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best flavor contrast.
  • Freshly ground cinnamon enhances the aroma and taste significantly.
  • Option to add nutmeg is flexible, depending on your spice preference.
  • Serve warm for optimal flavor and texture.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated gently before serving.
