How to Make an Easy Baked Apples Recipe
This recipe calls for:
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for greasing)
- 2 large large apples, peeled and diced
- 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 tbsp pure maple syrup, divided
- 3/4 cup flour
Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease a small baking dish with a little butter. Set aside.
In a large bowl, give the apple slices, cinnamon and a tablespoon of maple syrup a good stir.
Pour the sliced apples into the prepared baking dish.
Spread the apple mixture into an even layer and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the flour, soft butter, and remaining maple syrup. Stir to combine thoroughly, then evenly spread the mixture on top of the apples.
Place in the pre-heated oven for a bake time of about 25 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
Remove the baked apple slices from the oven and cool for a couple minutes before serving.
To make this dessert extra special you might want to serve them warm and top it off with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, caramel sauce or whipped cream.
How to Store Your Warm Cinnamon Apples
Store any leftovers in an airtight container or wrapped in aluminum foil at room temperature. To reheat, microwave until warmed through.
I like to use a mixture of different apple varieties for optimal taste – sweeter apples and tart apples.

There are a variety of apples you can use such as: Red Delicious, Pink Lady, Macintosh Apples, Fuji Apples, Golden Delicious, Honeycrisp apples, Granny Smith Apples or Gala apples.

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!

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!
