Baked Spiced Apple Slices
Easy to make baked apple slices oven-baked with cinnamon, butter and brown sugar until they are perfectly tender (not mushy).
Ingredients
- 5-6 crisp tart apples such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp or Paula Red peeled and cored
- ¼ cup (60 ml) melted butter
- ⅓ cup (80 g) brown sugar or coconut sugar
- 1 tablespoon (15 g) cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
- ¼ teaspoon flaky sea salt such as Maldon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 (220C) degrees.
- Slice each apple into 1/2-inch wedges — you should have a generous 4 cups.
- Stir the butter, sugar, spices, cornstarch, salt and vanilla together in a bowl.
- Toss the apples with the butter mixture and transfer to a shallow baking dish.
- Roast the apples about 20-25 minutes, until they soften and juices are caramelized and bubbling.
- Let cool 5 minutes. Serve the apples warm over softly whipped cream on the side.
Notes
- Roasted spiced apples are delicious served warm, topped with granola and plain yogurt, ice cream or over pancakes or waffles.
- Choose one or a combination of apple varieties that stay firm for baking, such as Honeycrisp, Gala, Jonagold, or Braeburn.
