Ingredients for Baked Apples And Bananas

  • 2 medium apples (about 2 cups, peeled and sliced)
  • 2 ripe bananas (about 1 1/2 cups, sliced)
  • Lemon
  • Dark Brown Sugar
  • Light Brown Sugar

How to Make Baked Apples And Bananas

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. Peel and slice 2 medium apples (about 2 cups) and 2 ripe bananas (about 1 1/2 cups).
  3. Gently toss the apples and bananas in a shallow baking dish. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
  4. In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 cup water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  6. Pour the warm sauce evenly over the apples and bananas in the baking dish.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the juices are bubbling and slightly caramelized.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
