Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Apples
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Peel, core, and slice the apples into 1/4-inch thick pieces, then place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add lemon juice to the apple slices and gently toss to coat, this prevents them from browning.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter.
Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, salt, and water until well combined.
Pour the mixture over the apples in the bowl and toss until the slices are fully coated with the spice mixture.
Arrange the spiced apple slices in an even layer in a baking dish.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until apples are tender and caramelized.
Serve warm as they are or with a scoop of ice cream or dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.
