Ingredients
- 4 large Apples
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened apple juice
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Wash and core the apples, then slice them into even 1/4 inch thick slices. You can peel them if you prefer, but leaving the skin on adds texture and nutrients.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, toss the apple slices with lemon juice to prevent browning and to enhance flavor.
Step 4
Sprinkle the cinnamon and nutmeg over the apple slices, ensuring an even coating.
Step 5
Add the vanilla extract and apple juice to the bowl, and stir well to combine all ingredients.
Step 6
Transfer the apple mixture to a baking dish, spreading them out evenly.
Step 7
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and scatter them over the top of the apples.
Step 8
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the oven.
Step 9
Bake for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the apples to become tender and slightly caramelized.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Step 11
Serve warm as is, or with a dollop of unsweetened yogurt or a scoop of sugar-free ice cream for added indulgence.
