Baked Apple Slices
Report
This easy Baked Apple Slices recipe is sweet, buttery, and cinnamon-spiced, making it the perfect dessert for any occasion. Thinly sliced apples are tossed in melted butter, cinnamon sugar, and a touch of sea salt, then baked until soft and caramelized. It's a family favorite in my house!

Ingredients
- 5 each cored, peeled and thinly sliced Fuji apples
- 1 each cored, peeled and thinly sliced Granny Smith apple
- 4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon 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
- I always recommend peeling the apples before slicing and baking, no one wants stringy peels in their dessert! Peeling ensures a smooth, jammy texture and helps the apples fully soak up the buttery cinnamon sauce, making every bite soft and flavorful.
- Keep Apples Fresh: If you’re prepping ahead, submerge the sliced apples in pineapple juice to prevent browning.
- Get Creative: These baked apples aren’t just for dessert, they pair excellent with chicken or fish for a sweet-savory twist.
- Baking Dish Matters: Use a 9" or 10" oval casserole dish for even cooking.
- Slice Evenly: A sharp chef’s knife helps create uniform apple slices, so they bake at the same rate.
- Customize the Flavor: Add a splash of bourbon, rum, or warm spices like nutmeg, allspice, or cardamom to elevate the taste.
- Stir While Baking: Give the apples a good stir every 15 minutes to ensure even caramelization.
- Lighten It Up: Cut back on butter and sugar (2 tbsp each) for a less indulgent version.
- Use Extras Wisely: If you end up with extra apple slices, you can use them to make my Pork Chops with Apples or this Fall Sangria Recipe.
- Make-Ahead: Slice the apples up to 1 day before baking and submerge them in pineapple juice to prevent them from browning.
- How to Store: Once cool, transfer the baked apple slices to an airtight container and keep them in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. They also freeze well for up to 2 months. Thaw the leftovers in the fridge overnight before reheating.
- How to Reheat: Place the apples in a baking dish, cover them with foil, and reheat in a 350ºF oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until warmed.
