Ingredients
  

4 medium-sized apples (preferably Granny Smith or Fuji)

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Prepare the Apples: Core the apples and slice them into thin wedges (about 1/4 inch thick). You can leave the skin on for added texture and nutrients.

      Mix the Coating: In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), salt, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Stir well until fully mixed.

        Coat the Apple Slices: Add the apple slices to the bowl and toss them gently with the cinnamon mixture until all the slices are well-coated.

          Arrange for Baking: Line a baking dish (approximately 9x13 inches) with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Spread the coated apple slices evenly in the dish. If you are using nuts, sprinkle them over the top.

            Bake the Apples: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the apples are tender and caramelized, stirring halfway through to ensure even baking.

              Serve: Once baked, remove the apple slices from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.

                Enjoy your delicious Sweet Cinnamon Baked Apple Slices!
