Baked Apple Slices
Baked Apple Slices combine thinly sliced peeled apples with melted butter, sugars, cinnamon, salt, and cornstarch, baked until soft and caramelized. The mixture yields tender, jammy apples with a buttery cinnamon flavor that can be enjoyed as a dessert or as a complement to savory dishes. Stirring during baking ensures even caramelization and texture.
Ingredients
- 5 each Fuji apple cored, peeled, thinly sliced
- 1 each Granny Smith apple cored, peeled, thinly sliced
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar packed
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt sea salt
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°.
- Add the apples to a large mixing bowl along with butter, sugars, cinnamon, salt, and cornstarch and mix thoroughly.
- Transfer the apples to a 9" oval casserole dish and bake at 350° for 45 minutes.
- Stir every 15 minutes until they are done and serve hot.
Notes
- Peel apples before slicing to avoid stringy texture and ensure smooth, jammy baked apples.
- To prevent browning, submerge sliced apples in pineapple juice if prepping ahead by up to one day.
- Stir the apple slices every 15 minutes during baking for even coating and caramelization.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days; they freeze well for two months.
- Reheat covered in a 350ºF oven for 8 to 10 minutes to warm through without drying out.
