Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Apples (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- Plain yogurt or whipped cream (for serving, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a small baking dish.
Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges and place them in a mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, ground cloves, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and water until well combined.
Pour the spiced mixture over the apple slices, tossing gently to ensure all slices are evenly coated.
Transfer the coated apple slices to the prepared baking dish, spreading them into an even layer.
If desired, sprinkle the chopped walnuts or pecans evenly over the apples for added crunch and flavor.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the apples are tender and caramelized around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let the dessert cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with a dollop of plain yogurt or whipped cream for a light and creamy touch. Enjoy!
