Ingredients
Apples
- 3 medium apples
Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon melted butter or oil
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350° Fahrenheit. Prepare a baking dish by greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the apples: Cut the apples in half and remove the cores carefully using a spoon, small knife, or melon baller. Place the apple halves cut-side up in the baking dish to help them roast evenly.
- Apply cinnamon butter: In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter or oil with cinnamon. Rub this mixture evenly over the cut sides and outer surface of the apples to infuse flavor.
- Roast the apples: Bake the prepared apples in the preheated oven until they are caramelized on top and the flesh is tender enough to be easily pierced with a fork, approximately 30 minutes.
Notes
- You can use any variety of apples, but firmer apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work best to hold shape.
- Serve warm as a dessert alone or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of honey.
- For a vegan version, use oil instead of butter.
- Keep an eye on the apples while baking to prevent burning as sugar caramelizes.
