Ingredients
- 5-6 medium apples Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Pink Lady, or other peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- ¼ cup light brown sugar
- 2 ½ teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg optional
- 1 Pinch salt
- whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking dish by greasing with butter.
- Prepare the Apples: Peel, core, and slice the apples into even, thin slices. Use a paring knife to slice lengthwise thinly. You can adjust the thickness to your preference. Place the sliced apples in a large mixing bowl or directly in the baking pan.
- Make the Cinnamon Sauce: In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg (if using), and a pinch of salt. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved and the spices are evenly distributed.
- Coat the Apples: Pour the cinnamon sauce over the sliced apples. Toss the apples gently to ensure they are coated evenly with the sauce.
- Arrange in Baking Dish: Transfer the coated apple slices to a baking dish. You can use an 8x8-inch baking dish or a similar-sized dish. Arrange the apple slices in an even layer and cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven for 30-40 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula once or twice during baking. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Bake until the apples are tender and the sauce caramelizes. You can check the doneness by inserting a fork into the apples; they should be soft but not mushy. I like them a little softer and bake for 40 minutes.
- Serve: Remove the baking dish from the oven once the apples are baked to your desired tenderness. Let the apples cool slightly before serving. You can serve them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence. Add a sprig of fresh mint for color.
- Enjoy your delicious Baked Cinnamon Apples, a perfect treat for the fall season! This recipe is quite flexible. Feel free to adjust the sugar and spices to suit your taste preferences.
