Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Apples (e.g., Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Granny Smith)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin, even slices (approximately 1/4-inch thick).
Place the sliced apples into a large mixing bowl and drizzle with lemon juice to prevent browning.
In a small bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and salt. Mix well.
Sprinkle the sugar and spice mixture over the apple slices and toss until the apples are evenly coated.
Grease a baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches) with a tablespoon of butter. Spread the prepared apples evenly across the dish.
Dot the apple slices with the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, distributing it evenly across the dish.
Drizzle the vanilla extract over the apples for added flavor.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to trap the steam and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the edges begin to caramelize.
Remove the dish from the oven and let the baked apples cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy the baked sliced apples on their own, or serve as a topping for vanilla ice cream, pancakes, or oatmeal!
