How to Make Baked Cinnamon Apples

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Peel, core, and slice 6 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji) about 1/4 inch thick.
  3. In a large bowl, gently toss the apple slices with 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of butter, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/2 cup dried cranberries.
  4. Pour the apple mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  5. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the juices have thickened slightly. Stir halfway through baking.
  6. Serve warm. Optional: Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
