Cinnamon Sugar Baked Apple Slices
Description
Cinnamon Sugar Baked Apple Slices start by peeling, coring, and slicing the apples thinly to ensure even cooking. The slices are tossed in a blend of brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, and salt, which evenly coats the fruit and creates a caramelized surface when baked. The apples are arranged in layers in a greased baking dish, slightly overlapping, allowing the sugar to melt and seep between slices.
Pats of butter distributed on top melt during baking, enriching the flavor and adding moistness. Baking at 350°F for 25 to 30 minutes softens the apples while maintaining their shape. The cinnamon and sugar mixture infuses the slices with a warm sweetness balanced by the apples’ tartness.
This dish can accompany breakfast items or be served as a simple dessert. The texture is tender yet maintains a subtle bite, and the brown sugar adds depth along with the white sugar’s bright sweetness.
Ingredients
- 2 apple Granny Smith variety

- Peel and core apples and cut them into thin slices.
- Mix brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, and salt, together and pour it into a gallon freezer bag.

- Scatter the pats of butter across the top of the apples.
