⏲ Cooking Time

If using stone bakeware you’ll need to adjust the bake time for the bakeware to heat up. You’ll generally want to add an extra 10 minutes. And, as always, every appliance is different so cook times can tend to vary.

🥘 Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need:

• Apples: I prefer a mix of tart and sweet. My favorites are Honeycrisp & Granny Smith.
• Lemon Juice: Great for balancing out the sweetness. Be sure and use real lemon juice, not that crap in the green bottle.
• Maple Syrup: Keeps this dish naturally sweetened and beautifully caramelizes the apples.
• Spices: Cinnamon and nutmeg are the flavors of Fall and Winter. But, pumpkin pie spice is excellent as well.
• Arrowroot Flour: This is to make sure it thickens as it cooks. You can also use cornstarch.

🔪 Instructions

This Baked Cinnamon Apples recipe is so simple and requires a few basic ingredients and 1 bowl.

Peeled, cored, and a sliced mixture of crunchy sweet and tart apples are tossed in maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, a bit of lemon juice and then baked to tender, caramelized perfection.

1. Preheat your oven to 375˚F. 
2. Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples and place them in a large bowl. (Try and keep the slices consistent and thin. It helps them to cook evenly.)
3. Add in all the remaining ingredients and toss until the apples are evenly coated.
4. Pour the apples into a 9×13 baking dish, cover with foil, and bake for 40 minutes. Then, remove the foil, stir the apples, and bake uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes. The apples should be VERY fork tender and the sauce should be fairly thick and bubbly.
5. Serve the cinnamon baked apples plain or with a dollop of Vegan Whipped Cream.
