Ingredients
Apples
- 2 apples, peeled and sliced
Flavorings
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar or honey
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the apples.
- Arrange Apples: Place the peeled and sliced apple pieces evenly in a small baking dish, ensuring they are spread out for even cooking.
- Add Sweeteners and Spice: Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon evenly over the apple slices to add sweetness and warmth.
- Add Butter: Dot the top of the apples with small pieces of butter to enhance flavor and help with caramelization during baking.
- Pour Liquids: Pour the water and vanilla extract over the apples to keep them moist and infuse additional flavor as they bake.
- Cover and Bake: Cover the baking dish tightly with foil to retain moisture, then bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until the apples are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Finish and Serve: Remove the foil carefully and stir the baked apples gently before serving warm. Serve alone or as a topping for yogurt, oatmeal, or ice cream.
Notes
- Use Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples for the best texture and flavor.
- Serve baked apples warm with yogurt, oatmeal, or vanilla ice cream for a delicious treat.
- Add chopped walnuts or pecans for a crunchy texture variation.
