    1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Take 5-6 large apples and core and slice them.
    2. In an oven safe baking dish combine melted butter, honey, cinnamon and nuts.
    3. Mix everything well to distribute honey evenly.
    4. Add sliced apples to the pan and mix everything well to coat apple slices. Bake in the center of your oven for 20-25 minutes until fork tender.

    💡 Tips

    • For apples you can use Granny Smith, Gala, Fuji, Honey Crisp or a combination. Look for apples that hold their texture when cooked.
    • I like using a mix of apples so it will not be too tart or too sweet.
    • You can peel the apples if you would like to.
    • Butter gives this recipe a tasty flavor more like apple pie. But you can also use olive oil, vegan butter or coconut for a vegan dish.
    • For a thicker sauce add a tablespoon of cornstarch or flour.

    🧺 Storage

    Leftovers can be kept refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven.

    🍽️ Serve With

    Serve baked apple slices as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, Greek yogurt, pudding, or mix with your morning oatmeal.

    A creamy caramel sauce is perfect for the topping or dip the apple slices into a caramel or chocolate sauce.

    💬 Recipe FAQs

    What can I use in place of honey?

    If you prefer not to use honey as a sweetener or don't have it on hand, you can also use maple syrup. However, please keep in mind that switching out ingredients may not produce the same taste and texture. Also, maple syrup although a fabulous ingredient, is a little thinner than honey. You may want to add a tablespoon of cornstarch or flour to help thicken the sauce.

    Are there any benefits to keeping the peel on the apples?

    Although apples are healthy and delicious no matter how you're eating them, by taking off the peel, you are losing beneficial fiber, potassium and vitamin A. Also, what a time saver it is to make this dish with the peel on. Just wash, core and slice!

      Happy fall baking Amira! This recipe is much easier and healthier than apple pie but equally delicious! It's a good way to use the apples from our trees that we are now busy picking. I've added some apple pie spices (cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, ginger, allspice and a sprinkle of cloves) because we love spices in this house!
