Easy Baked Apples Slices

These easy baked apple slices are great as a holiday side dish, with oatmeal for breakfast, or as dessert! Easy to make and gluten free!

If you are familiar with my blog, then you know I like easy and delicious recipes. It’s not that I don’t get crazy in the kitchen now and again with a complicated recipe. 

It’s more that I don’t like trillions of dirty dishes laying around. And space is limited – on the counter and in my head.

Once I get past four bowls/pots/pans at once, I get lost in my cooking. Literally lost. I stop cooking because I can’t remember what goes next and where.

Mistakes happen – baking powder and baking soda suddenly appear identical. So does cinnamon and nutmeg. And bad things happen.

Dessert disasters are NOT okay, so I came up with this easy baked apple slices recipe.

How to Make Baked Apples Slices

This is a really easy apple dessert recipe with just a few ingredients. It’s as simple as peeling and coring apples, chopping them up and covering them in spices.  Then throw the whole shabang in the oven and you’re golden.

Baked Apple Slices Ingredients

You will need 3 apples, brown sugar, lemon juice, some fall spices, cornstarch, and cold butter.

• Apples – I use Macintosh and Honeycrisp apples. Occasionally I will use Granny Smith for tartness. Go red or green – totally up to you!
• Brown Sugar – feel free to use either dark or light brown sugar.
• Lemon Juice – a little citric acid is always good to balance out a sweet treat.
• Fall Spices – cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom
• Cornstarch – to thicken it all up!
• Cold Butter – the colder the better! (but not frozen)

Helpful Tools

Easy recipes are made easier by helpful tools. Luckily for us, there are plenty of apple accessories out there to make this recipe and all of your other apple recipes simpler to prepare.

• Rotato Express – This was made for potatoes, but it is great for peeling anything that needs to be peeled. I like that it is more vertical than most apple peelers so takes up less counter space.
• Apple Slicer – There’s nothing like an old-school metal apple slicer. It also cores the apple so it’s a 2-1 product!
• Petite Casserole Dish – I used a mini cocotte that was a Home Goods find. Similar items I’ve found run in the $200+ range. Bleh. The petite casserole dish I linked to instead is much more reasonably priced. And it comes in a lot of colors.

How to Serve Baked Apple Slices

This baked apple recipe is great as a holiday side dish for Thanksgiving or Christmas. It’s also great for dinner any day – it only takes 30 minutes to make!

If you are an oatmeal eater, adding some of these baked apple slices on top plus a little more cinnamon and brown sugar would take your oatmeal over the top!

And of course, this is a dessert recipe. Eat it on it’s own or how I do, on top of vanilla ice cream!
