Ingredients
- 3 pounds apple peeled, cored, sliced (favorites include Honeycrisp, Gala, and Granny Smith
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp cloves ground
- 1/8 tsp salt
- lemon juice juice from half a lemon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp butter unsalted
Instructions
- Preheat: Preheat the oven to 350℉ degrees.
- Prepare Apples: Peel the apples, cut and remove the core and cut into slices about 1/3-1/2 an inch thick.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the apples to a large bowl or you can mix right in a pie dish, or 2 quart baking dish. Add the light brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, salt, lemon juice and vanilla extract. Stir to combine. If using a bowl, spoon the apples into a pie dish or 2 quart baking dish.
- Butter: Cut the butter into small squares, and place them over the top of the apples.
- Baking: Bake for 30 minutes, stirring after the apples have baked for 15 minutes. This prevents apples on the top from drying. Bake until the apples are tender and soft.
- Serve: Remove and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Serve warm.

Notes
- Apples: use a combination of sweet and tart apples. Best options include: Honeycrisp (sweet), Gala (sweet), Granny Smith (tart).
- Lemon: the lemon juice adds a bit of acidity to help balance out the sweetness of the dish.
- Spices: this recipe uses cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Other spices you may like to try include: ginger, allspice, cardamom.
- Apple slices: slice the apples into 1/3 to 1/2 inch sizes, if the sliced too thinly they won't hold their shape during baking.
- Bake time: test the apples texture after 30 minutes, if they have too much bite left and you want them softer bake in additional 5 minute increments to get desired texture. The longer they bake, the softer they become.
