Easy Baked Apple Slices, a 4 ingredient dessert, side dish, or breakfast. This Baked Apple Slices recipe is a delicious way to enjoy your apple-picking bounty. with fresh apples, butter, cinnamon and sugar served warm and tender for a memorable fall dish!
I’m kicking off fall with the return of Tastes of the Season Holiday Recipe series with several friends.
Growing up, my mom would core and bake apples with a cinnamon, sugar and butter mixture that had us all begging for fall. It was such a treat, yet unbeknownst to me at the time, so simple.
Baked Apple Slices are a quintessential fall recipe. There’s something comforting about warm, tender apples blended with cinnamon and sugar – this easy fall recipe doubles potpourri!
We frequently enjoy them after an afternoon of apple-picking where we almost always pick more than we can realistically enjoy. Each year I am hopeful we can pick from our own backyard, but by mid-July, the squirrels have raided the apple trees. Wherever you find your apples, this foolproof recipe is easy enough for little hands to help make!
These Baked Apple Slices require less time in the oven than cored apples and are easy to serve as breakfast alone or blended into oatmeal or yogurt, a side dish or dessert. Yes, I think Baked Apple Slices qualify as a fall side dish. They pair well with pork tenderloin, pork chops and more! They’re decadent enough on their own for dessert, but I like to drizzle them in caramel and serve warm with vanilla ice cream for a family style dessert.
Our girls absolutely love this special treat. They’re the perfect way to warm up on a chilly fall afternoon.
