Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Apples (medium-sized, any variety such as Fuji or Honeycrisp)
- 2 pieces Bananas
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 1 serving Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel and core the apples, then slice them into wedges. Place the apple wedges in a medium-sized baking dish.
Peel the bananas and cut them into 1/2-inch thick slices. Add the banana slices to the baking dish with the apples.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, melted butter, and lemon juice until well combined.
Pour the honey mixture over the apples and bananas, tossing gently to coat all the pieces evenly.
If using, sprinkle the chopped walnuts or pecans over the fruit mixture for added crunch and flavor.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the bananas are caramelized.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm as-is, or top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
