Easy Baked Apples

Step 1

Preheat: Preheat the oven to 350℉ degrees.

Step 2

Prepare Apples: Peel the apples, cut and remove the core and cut into slices about 1/3-1/2 an inch thick.

Step 3

Combine Ingredients: Add the apples to a large bowl or you can mix right in a pie dish, or 2 quart baking dish. Add the light brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, salt, cornstarch, lemon juice and vanilla extract. Stir to combine. If using a bowl, spoon the apples into a pie dish or 2 quart baking dish.

Step 4

Butter: Cut the butter into small squares, and place them over the top of the apples.

Step 5

Baking: Bake for 30 minutes, stirring after the apples have baked for 15 minutes. This prevents apples on the top from drying. Bake until the apples are tender and soft.

Step 6

Serve: Remove and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Serve warm.
