Ingredients

Instructions

Fill a large bowl halfway with water and add the lemon juice. Add the apples to the lemon water as they are sliced.
2 tbsp lemon juice, 6 apples
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.
1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp nutmeg, 4 tbsp butter
Remove the apples from the water and pat dry. Place the apples in a single layer inside the prepared baking dish. Top with the sugar mixture and spread as evenly as possible.
Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Serve immediately, either with vanilla ice cream or as a solo dessert.

Notes

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 homemade vanilla recipe.
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.
Pair with plain Greek yogurt or ice cream!
Add a bit of apple cider or juice to the mixture for an extra sweet, concentrated flavor.
You can make this recipe in a slow cooker, too! Combine all ingredients and mix well. Cover and cook on low heat for 4 hours, stirring occasionally.
