Scale
Ingredients
- 4-5 apples (roughly 4 cups), chopped into ½-inch cubes
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ½ tablespoon brown sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the apples.
- Prepare the apples: Place the chopped apples into an 8×11 inch baking dish, spreading them evenly.
- Make the cinnamon sauce: In a small bowl, melt the butter completely. Then whisk in ground cinnamon, brown sugar, a pinch of salt, and lemon juice until you achieve a smooth sauce.
- Coat the apples and bake: Pour the cinnamon butter mixture over the apples and toss gently until all pieces are evenly coated. Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the apples become tender and slightly browned, stirring once halfway through for even cooking if desired.
Notes
- Use firm apples like Fuji, Honeycrisp, or Granny Smith for the best texture.
- Serve warm for a comforting dessert, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
- Adjust cinnamon and sugar levels according to your taste preference.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
