Recipe: Baked Apple Slices
Ingredients:
- 4 large apples (such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Gala), cored and sliced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Pinch of salt
- Optional toppings: vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, chopped nuts, or caramel sauce
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with non-stick cooking spray.
-
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the ingredients are well combined.

Place the sliced apples in a large mixing bowl and pour the butter mixture over them. Toss the apples until they are evenly coated with the mixture.
-
Arrange the coated apple slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overlapping.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the apples are tender and caramelized, stirring halfway through the baking time to ensure even cooking.
-
Once the apple slices are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
-
Serve the Baked Apple Slices warm as a delicious dessert or snack. Optionally, top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra special treat.
