Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Wash and core the apples, then slice them into uniform 1/4-inch thick pieces. You can peel them if you prefer, but it is not necessary.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the apple slices with the lemon juice to prevent browning. Stir gently to coat.
Add the ground cinnamon, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the bowl. Mix everything together until the apple slices are well coated.
Transfer the cinnamon apple mixture to a baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
If using, sprinkle the chopped nuts over the top of the apple slices for added texture and flavor.
Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the apples are tender yet slightly firm to the touch.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally topped with vegan whipped cream or a scoop of non-dairy ice cream for extra indulgence.
