Directions
1. To make the baked apples: Preheat your oven to 375ºF (190ºC). Toss diced apples with maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla, water, and sea salt until well coated.
2. Spread in a thin layer in a baking dish and speckle with the diced butter.
3. Place the apples in the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
4. Remove the apples from the oven, give a quick stir, spread the apples evenly, and return the baking dish to the oven. Bake for another 15 minutes, until apples are tender and the sauce is thick and caramelized.
5. Let the baked apples cool slightly and enjoy as desired!

Tips for the baked apple recipe
These cinnamon-baked apples are not only super easy to make, but they’re also a great way to use any surplus of freshly picked apples you may have on hands. You can make this recipe vegan by replacing butter with coconut oil.
What kind of apple should we use for this baked apple recipe?
We recommend using an apple variety that’s neither too sweet nor too tart. Gala apples (used here for the pictures) and Honeycrisp tend to be our preference when making baked apples.
Do we have to peel the apples?
It’s up to you! Some prefer keeping the skin on for a nice contrast while others don’t like the baked apple skin because it tends to get tough when chewing and doesn’t pair well with other toppings.
What to serve with the baked apples
These baked apples are delicious on their own, but they are delightful with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream, or whipped cream, or quick oats.
How and how long to store the baked apples
The baked apples will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 1 week in an airtight container. To re-heat the baked cinnamon apples gently warm them on the stovetop in a saucepan with few drops of water, or in the microwave.
