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.

Chef Noor's Tip

Serve with Greek yogurt or peanut butter for a more filling snack.

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.
