Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups peeled and cored apple slices
  • ⅓ cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ¼ cup cubed salted butter

Equipment

  • Frying pan
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Oven
  • Chef's Knife
  • Peeler
  • Baking Sheet

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. This is an essential step to ensure your apples bake evenly. A hot oven helps to caramelize the sugars in the apples, making them tender and flavorful.
  2. Spray a 9×9-inch baking pan or a 2-quart baking dish with pan spray and set it aside. This ensures that your baked apples won’t stick to the dish and makes for an easier cleanup.
  3. In a large bowl, combine 6 cups of peeled and cored apple slices, ⅓ cup of packed brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Mix until all the apples are evenly coated. The goal here is to make sure each apple slice is infused with the sweet and spicy flavors.
  4. Transfer the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread it out evenly so that every piece gets enough heat during baking. You want to make sure it’s all in a single layer for the best results.
  5. Dot the apples with ¼ cup of cubed salted butter. This will melt and create a luscious sauce as the apples bake, enhancing the overall flavor of the dish.
  6. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Be sure to stir once halfway through. You'll know they're done when the apples are tender and the sugar has formed a bubbly glaze.
  7. Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly. The aroma will be irresistible, and your kitchen will smell like a fall wonderland!
  8. Serve warm, preferably with a scoop of ice cream on the side. The contrast of the warm apples with cold ice cream is heavenly and a delightful treat.
  9. Enjoy this delightful dish with family and friends, making sure to share the joy of homemade goodness!
