Baked Cinnamon Apple Slices
A quick, wholesome sweet snack made with just three ingredients.
With nothing more than apples, brown sugar, and a dusting of cinnamon, this recipe turns everyday fruit into a warm, fragrant dessert in minutes. The slices soften in the oven while the sugar caramelizes lightly at the edges. It is a gentle way to serve fruit as a treat without reaching for anything heavy.
How to Prepare
Slice the apples thinly.
Coat the slices evenly with brown sugar and cinnamon.
Arrange on a lined tray and bake on the middle rack at 200°C for 15 minutes.
Serve warm.

Ingredient Swaps
Swap the brown sugar for coconut sugar if you want a deeper caramel note.
No cinnamon on hand? A little ground cardamom or nutmeg works nicely.
A slightly tart apple such as Granny Smith balances the sweetness well.
Common Questions
How thin should I slice the apples?
Slice them thin and even so they cook through within the fifteen minutes.
Can I make these without sugar?
Yes, cinnamon alone works, though the sugar gives the edges a caramelized crispness.
How do I store leftovers?
Keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for two days and warm slightly before serving.
Do I need to flip the slices while baking?
Not essential over this short time, but you can turn them once for even browning.
What can I serve them with?
Lovely warm on their own, or with a spoon of yogurt or ice cream.
