Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Apples (preferably Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 50 grams Butter (unsalted)
- 50 milliliters Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Wash and core the apples. Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice the apples into thin, even rounds (approximately 2–3 mm thick).
Spread the apple slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they do not overlap.
Sprinkle ground cinnamon evenly over the apple slices.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, then flip the slices over and bake for an additional 15–20 minutes, or until the slices are crisp and lightly golden. Keep an eye on them to ensure they don't burn.
While the apples are baking, prepare the caramel sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the granulated sugar to the saucepan and stir continuously until it fully dissolves and turns a golden brown color (approximately 3–4 minutes).
Carefully pour in the heavy cream (it will bubble up), and continue stirring until the mixture is fully combined.
Stir in the vanilla extract and a small pinch of salt, then remove from heat and allow the caramel to cool slightly.
Once the baked apple slices are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheets.
Drizzle the prepared caramel sauce over the baked apple slices, or serve it on the side for dipping.
Enjoy your Caramel Baked Apple Crisps immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
