Baked Apples are one of the many foods that make me think of my mom. One of her signature meals growing up was pan-fried pork chops with baked apples and a crisp green salad.

If there were ever leftover apples, I’d bring a fork to the fridge and enjoy them cold. No plate needed, just straight to my mouth. They are a delicious side dish, especially when served with pork, and they can also act an incredible dessert. Serve solo or with a bowl of vanilla ice cream!

This recipe is a delicious treat, similar to Apple Crisp but without the oatmeal topping. It’s a bit of a healthier option and comes together much more quickly and easily.

If you have a colorful bowl of apples sitting on your counter, go bake up some fun treats!

HOW TO MAKE CINNAMON BAKED APPLES

You’ll love baked apples – this is a great recipe and a perfect fall fruit delicious for making a treat that comes together easily! Don’t settle for pie filling from a can – enjoy this treat!

STEP 1

Fill a large bowl halfway with water and add the lemon juice. Add the apples to the lemon water as they are sliced.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a square baking dish with cooking spray and set aside. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and butter. Mix well.

STEP 2

Remove the apples from the water and pat dry. Place the apples in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Top with the sugar mixture.

Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Serve immediately, either with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or as a solo dessert.

RECIPE NOTES: CINNAMON BAKED APPLES

  • Use a paring knife to core apples and peel them or I have found that I love using my apple corer for a quick turn around.
  • Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to your apples, it’s a great addition! If you want to know how to make your own, check out my post on this.
  • Feel free to add cloves or ground ginger to your apples for a little more complex taste. Just a little goes a long way.
  • Drizzle homemade salted caramel sauce over the apples for an additional flavor!
  • Use this as a quick and easy pie filling, too! If you are excited to make apple empanadas, or mini pies, this is a great filling instead of popping open a can.
