Baked Cinnamon Apples

By sugarbear

Ingredients

• 10 apples (preferably Honey Crisp), cored, peeled and sliced thinly or diced in small pieces (See Note)
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice (optional)
• 1 dash salt
• 1 dash nutmeg

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Place cut and peeled apples in a baking dish and gently mix all the ingredients together. Cover and place in the oven. Bake for 45 minutes, stirring at least once every 15 minutes. Remove cover and let bake for an additional 15 minutes to thicken the sauce. Alternately, place all the ingredients in a slow cooker and mix together; cook on low for 4 hours.
Note: Dana Moody prefers Honey Crisp apples because they hold up well during cooking without turning to mush. Granny Smith apples work, too. Moody also has used Gala, but she shortened the cooking time. This recipe makes a lot. If desired, cut the recipe in half.
