- Start by peeling and evenly slicing your apples for the best texture and even baking. Use firm apples like Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, or Fuji that hold their shape well when they are baked.
- Toss them with cinnamon, sugar, and a bit of butter, then pop them in the oven until they’re tender and bubbly.
- Want to take it up a notch? Add in chopped pecans, walnuts, or a handful of raisins.
- Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream or homemade whipped cream for a comforting, crowd-pleasing fall dessert recipe!
Yes! Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.
Use firm apple varieties and don’t overbake. Start checking for doneness around the 25-minute mark.
At 350°F, apples typically soften in 25 to 35 minutes, depending on the thickness of your slices and the type of apple used. Start checking around the 25-minute mark. You’ll know they’re ready when they’re fork-tender but not mushy.
What to Eat with Cinnamon Apples

My husband loves apples so this would be the perfect dessert for him. I think I will try to make it for him this weekend I just need to grab some maple syrup. Thanks for the recipe!

This sounds delicious. Cut a few strips of store-bought pie crust and cook over it and it would be like a little apple pie!
This does sound delish! I have almond flour and apples, I’ve been looking for a recipe and hadn’t thought of using these ingredients together, along with maple syrup. Yum!
