Other Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon melted unsalted butter (or coconut oil)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) to prepare for baking the apples.

  3. Slice Apples: Slice the apples into approximately 1/2-inch thick slices, discarding the cores to avoid bitterness.
  4. Toss with Cinnamon: Place the sliced apples into the baking dish with the melted butter or oil, add the cinnamon, and toss everything together to evenly coat the apple slices.

Notes

  • Use a firm apple variety like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji for best texture.
  • Adjust cinnamon quantity to taste for a stronger or milder flavor.
  • For added sweetness, sprinkle a teaspoon of brown sugar or drizzle honey before baking.
  • Leftover baked apples can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For a dairy-free version, use melted coconut oil instead of butter.
