Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Apples (such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash, core, and slice the apples into 1/4 inch thick slices. A mix of red and green apples can add a lovely flavor contrast.
In a large bowl, toss the apple slices with lemon juice. This helps to prevent browning and adds a zesty flavor.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Once melted, stir in the vanilla extract.
Toss the apple slices with the butter mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
Add the brown sugar mixture to the apples, tossing until the slices are well coated with the mixture.
In a separate small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in water, stirring until smooth. Pour this mixture over the apples and gently mix to incorporate.
Spread the apple slices evenly in an 8x8-inch baking dish. Try to keep the slices in a single layer as much as possible for even baking.
Bake the apples in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and the edges are slightly caramelized.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the apples cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm, solo or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy!
