Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fresh apples (like Fuji or Honeycrisp)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Rinse and dry the apples. Peel and core them, then slice each apple into 1/4-inch thick slices.
Place the apple slices in a large mixing bowl and toss them with the lemon juice to prevent browning.
In a small bowl, whisk together the ground cinnamon, pure maple syrup, vanilla extract, and water until well combined.
Pour the cinnamon-maple mixture over the apple slices and gently toss to coat the apples evenly.
Arrange the apple slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the apple slices are soft and tender, but not mushy.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm as is or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
