A delightful dessert featuring tender baked apples infused with warm spices, perfect for a cozy evening.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Peel, core, and slice the apples into wedges.
Use an apple corer for quicker preparation.
In a mixing bowl, combine the apple slices, cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, lemon juice, and salt. Mix gently to coat the apples evenly.
Mix gently to avoid breaking the apple slices.
Transfer the apple mixture into a greased baking dish. Dot the top with small pieces of butter.
Greasing the dish prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, stirring gently every 15 minutes to ensure even cooking.
Stirring prevents the apples from sticking to the dish.
Once the apples are tender and the sauce has thickened, remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Letting the dish cool slightly enhances the flavor and makes it easier to serve.
