Description
A simple and healthy snack made with sliced apples baked until tender and lightly caramelized with cinnamon. Naturally sweet and satisfying, perfect for a guilt-free treat any time of day.
Ingredients
Apples
- 3 apples, cored and sliced into rings
Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Prepare Apple Rings: Toss the apple rings gently with lemon juice, cinnamon, and sugar (if using) to evenly coat them, which will enhance the flavor and prevent browning.
- Arrange on Tray: Lay the apple slices out in a single layer on the prepared baking tray, making sure they are not overlapping for consistent baking.
- Bake: Bake the apple rings for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to allow both sides to become tender and lightly caramelized.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the tray from the oven and let the apple rings cool slightly before serving to allow flavors to set and ensure safe handling.
Notes
- Use firm apple varieties like Fuji or Honeycrisp for the best texture and flavor.
- Omit sugar for a healthier, all-natural sweetness.
- For a crispier texture, bake the apple rings a few minutes longer, keeping an eye to prevent burning.
