Baked Cinnamon Apples

A simple recipe for baked cinnamon apples!

Ingredients

Quantities are shown as originally provided.

⅓ cup light brown sugar tightly packed
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons cornstarch
4-5 large apples peeled (cored, and sliced about ⅓" - ½" thick (this is about 3 lbs -- I like to use Honeycrisp or Gala))
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
½ cup chopped walnuts optional
3 Tablespoons salted butter cut into 6 pieces

1
Preheat oven to 375F (190C) and lightly grease a deep 9x9 pan with butter.
2
In a large bowl, stir together your sugars, cinnamon, and cornstarch until well-combined.
3
Add the apples and toss until well coated. Sprinkle with lemon juice and add walnuts (if using) and stir again until well-combined.
4
Transfer apple mixture into your prepared baking pan (be sure to scrape out all sugar/juice from the bowl) and dot with butter pieces.
5
Cover pan with foil and transfer to 375F (190C) oven. Bake for 60 minutes or until apples are tender when pierced with a fork, stopping every 15 minutes to stir apples.
6
Serve warm, top with ice cream if desired.
