Easy Cinnamon Baked Apples

I am in love with this recipe and have made it about 4 times in the last month. I realized recently that I wrote out the recipe incorrectly and have been adding 2 extra Honeycrisp apples…. I will continue to make it this way since it tastes amazing! I serve it hot with vanilla Oatly ice cream and it is delicious!

What an easy and so incredibly delicious recipe! I didn’t add any sugar and it served it with an Oatly vanilla ice cream.

Made the recipe as written and enjoyed with oat milk vanilla ice cream. Was so good! A great way to use freshly-picked apples. This dish really let the flavors of the apples shine and the “caramel” was just perfect, especially when it solidified a bit after adding the cold ice cream.

Easy and tasty. But I found my apples to be falling apart after 45 min. Maybe they should not be so thin.✌🏼

Amazingly delicious! Used orange juice instead of apple juice and was yummy, especially served with banana ‘nice’ cream! Or ice cream of course!!

I made these baked apples tonight and they are so good. I had most all
of the ingredients except nutmeg already and it came out so delicious. I thought it might be too sweet and scaled back on the sugar only by about 1 1/2 tablespoons. Delicious!

This was very easy and very tasty. I really just used the concept: so medium thin apples slices, juice of one whole lemon, the cornstarch, the water and then used Splenda instead and lots of spices. Baked up great, was sweet and juice was nice and thick. I put them on splenda sweetened plain Greek yogurt. Delish and VERY healthy.

I just went through the antibiotic heavy (3 off them) and strong stomach acid inhibitor cure for Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) stomach ulcers. It really wiped out my normal gut flora (healthy bacteria and molds that help us digest food and keep our immune systems in top shape. One of the recommended fixes was lots of probiotics, the other was lots of prebiotics. One potent prebiotic is pectin, which apples are chock full of. So I have been making this dish every 5 days for weeks. It disappears fast around here as we love cinnamon. My heath is backs to normal but this dish has become a part of our regular dsiet. It is so yummy. I substitute maple syrup as a sweetener. We are not big fans of sweet here so 2 1/2 tablespoons is plenty. But as we use the sweet and crunchy Pink Lady apples they make up for some of the lost sweetener.
Thanks so much for what you do, my vegetarian daughter Kierstyn and I love your recipes.

SUPER EASY AND DELICIOUS RECIPE, THANK YOU, I WILLSHARE IT WITH MY COWRORES.

Very easy and delicious!!!
I used a variety of apples that I had in my house. I didn’t have ginger or nutmeg or coconut sugar either. These still turned out delicious. I added a little extra cinnamon because I love cinnamon, used unfiltered apple juice, I added a little extra water, and used 2 tablespoons of maple syrup as substitute for sugar.

The thick syrup that it makes reminded me of apple crisp and made me wish I had the crisp part and some ice cream too.

My boys really loved it too. Definitely will make again.

After procrastinating, because I ‘m not a good cook..I decided to try this. It was VERY EASY and DELICIOUS ! I will make this again !

This was a quick good baked apple recipe! It comes together really quickly if you don’t peel the apples, and use a mandolin. I made it with only pink ladies, 1/4cup maple syrup and subbed out 1 TBS water for an extra TBS lemon, and found that it certainly wasn’t too sweet.

This is so delicious and easy to make. Always a hit with kids and adults. I love it with coconut whipped cream or vegan vanilla ice cream, but it’s great all on its own, too!

Delicious! So happy to get the flavors of apple crisp, without the crisp – since I’m very strict GF. I’ll be making this again! Thank you! :)

easy and delicious! I didn’t have coconut sugar so I used just over 1/3 c of brown sugar and found it sweet enough. Will make again for sure.

This is wonderful. I’m on an elimination diet and skipped the nutmeg. Thanks for adding the cornstarch substitute since I can’t have that either.

I will make this again and again!

I loved the idea of this recipe. I used brown sugar instead of coconut as I didn’t have any. Mixed a bunch of apples and used allspice instead of nutmeg. They came out delicious! I then got curious and took the rest I didn’t taste test (lol) and blended them. Made a very tasty applesauce that I served as a warm topping on cheesecake. BRILLIANT! Thank you so much for sharing the recipe!

I have cooking apple trees, I was looking to use up the apples and ingredients that I have and this was perfect. It hit that sweet spot, comfort and warm. I put bought vegan vanilla ice-cream which was such a good combination. The kids loved the sauce and ice-cream but not the texture of the cooked apples. ? thank you for the inspiration and keeping it simple.

I love this recipe! The nutmeg adds a wonderful, quintessentially autumn flavour and the lemon balances the sweetness of the sugar (I used brown sugar). The glaze was perfect, the ratios marvelously portioned, and I really appreciated the fact that I could select a serving size right here on the blog.

I’m taking the leftovers to a friend’s house tomorrow and I have no doubt that she’ll enjoy this taste of home.

This was delicious !! I forgot the apple juice while I was at the store and thankfully I did because it was plenty sweet with all the other ingredients ! Everyone loved the dish, I served it as a sweet side with pork ribs. I let it cook 45 minutes, stirring every 10 to make sure the spices were turning into sauce and coated the apples evenly. Will definitely be doing these again! So much better than canned !

I had a few apples hanging around in the fridge.
Made this as per instructed replacing water/apple juice with Crown Royal apple whiskey.
It was fantastic!
Cheers

This was sooo good. I added everything in the recipe besides the cinnamon, and I had no foil and I made them with red Delicious apples because that is all I had on hand. My kids loved them on homemade rice waffles. Thank you for this lovely recipe.

These baked apple turned out to be a staple on our fridge this week. I’ve made this recipe 3 times in the last 10 days.
It is easy and quick to make it.
Kids love to topped their overnight cauliflower oats and oatmeal with these apples.
I just love eating them anyway.

Hello!
Wow thank u for this recipe. Absolutely delicious. I topped my kid’s cauliflower oatmeal with your apples and she looove everything.
:)
I put protein on my cauliflower oatmeal, your apples, and almond butter. So good.
Thank u!

I made this recipe earlier this week for a Christmas morning brunch. I ended up following the recipe primarily to a T, but I swapped the sugar for monk fruit & it came out amazing. And helped keep with the glycemic factor or it too.

I had a bunch of apples that I wanted to use up and didn’t want to work too hard for a dessert—this recipe hit all the notes! It was super easy to make and tasted heavenly. It was just the right amount of sweetness and the apples caramelized beautifully. We ate it up with some vegan ice cream and I’m thinking of putting the leftovers on pancakes tomorrow. Great, easy, and delicious dessert!

This recipe was great, but it was a bit too sweet for my tastes. Next time I will try it with half the amount of coconut sugar.

My first time making baked apples and this recipe was perfect. I used honey crisp and granny smith apples – had no idea honey crisp were sooooo delicious! The coconut palm sugar was perfect – used 3 tbsp apple juice and a little butter since I was out of coconut oil. I topped it with walnuts – perfect dessert. Thx so much for sharing

45 min was WAY too long and then 10+ after that? I did 40 min covered and 7 uncovered at 350 and it was so over cooked it was basically applesauce. If cooked 30 min and then 5 more it would be really good.

I followed the recipe as written when I made these for a spring brunch today. They were delicious! So glad I tried them.

I just made it this morning and halved everything. Including the cooking time. It is PERFECT! I used Morena cane sugar as well. Thanks so much Dana, this will be an often breakfast recipe from now on.

Delicious with no sugar at all for those like me cutting out out all added sugar. I did use all red apples but will try again adding some green. All other measurements stayed the same..I did use the optional melted coconut oil and chose apple juice over water because I happened to have some juice on hand but water would have been fine, I’m sure. Great with plain yogurt and my husband had over homemade waffles. Exactly (yes modified) what I’ve been looking for to help fill the cravings for something sweet yet no sugar.

Dana, this was my first time baking and using your recipe. Cooking, baking, and following recipes was not my favorite; partly because I wasn’t good at it. After having a successful with this recipe for Thanksgiving (literally both houses finished all of it!), I’m back on your page for more fun. Your easy, unique, and healthy recipes (having all three in one place is unseen) have changed my perspective on cooking/baking! Keep sharing and spreading your love and passion. It is highly appreciated! If you have any other advice for a newbie feel free to share :) !!!!!

Thx for this recipe! I wanted a lighter dessert for friends coming over one evening and made this deliciousness … I was such a hit in my house that I’ve been making it weekly ever since! I refrigerate leftovers and have the baked apples cold with yogurt for breakfast or a snack. I also warmed leftovers up alongside pancakes one morning for breakfast and it was glorious. I haven’t made it with the cheesecake you posted but I plan to. Thanks again! Yum!

Delish! I subbed in the maple syrup because it was on hand. Thanks!

Fabulous recipe! I made it last night and used some for layering chia parfait and also served it with coconut yogurt and your delish coconut-almond granola. Funny thing, I completely forgot about the sugar-did not have much anyway so I added all that I had at home, probably 3TBS in the last 15 mins and it turned out sooooo good my man wants me to make it again like ASAP. Thanks for another keeper Dana, I will now send it to my friends too.

I will make these again but without sugar. Way too sweet.

I only cut up a total of 5 apples due to time and my baby needing me. I used all the recommended ingredients for this recipe, even got all fancy and used fresh pressed apple juice. Turned out p-e-r-f-e-c-t! Not too sweet either. Tomorrow I’ll be making the vegan cheesecake tart to go along with this. ?

I made this and was it divine ?. I even shared it with my neighbor. Thank you so much for this recipe ❤️

This was really good, tastes just like apple pie filling. I halved the sugar (1/3)and it was still very sweet, can’t imagine if I had put the whole 2/3 cup of sugar in. Next time I might use a little less. So far I have had it in yogurt and on top of pancakes this morning. Yum

Well, I halved the sugar and it was still way too sweet for us. I wouldn’t use any next time. Those honey crisp apples are pure sweet! Otherwise, it was delish. I took half, rinsed them off, added a bit of lemon juice and more spices then remixed. Better ;)

LOVE every recipe here!

This is very good! I made it as written for the first time, and served it to guests! I eat paleo and don’t normally eat much sugar; next time I’ll cut the sugar in half. I was a bit concerned that the arrowroot flour would give it a glue-like texture, but it didn’t at all. I will make this again soon!

I made this and it was wonderful! I didn’t have corn starch so I substituted it with whole wheat flour. I also didn’t have the lemon juice so I used a lime and added a little vanilla extract!

I made this. Was super easy and hit the spot for something for fall.

This was sooooo good. I used 2/3 c coconut sugar but will use half of that next time as I think it will be just as good (typically I don’t eat sugar). I also used 2 T unsweetened crsmanberry juice instead of water/apple juice. One problem: it only made three servings. ;) ;) ;) (ok, so perhaps I overdid it). This recipe is a keeper.

SO GOOD! Probably would use less sugar ~1/3 cup sugar next time, but #noregrets!

I left out the sugar entirely and added raisins and vanilla essence. Stirred through some maple syrup in the last 5 mins and added some toasted oats and soya hazelnut yogurt to serve. Easy and endless variations.

Made this with water, and cut down the sugar to 1/2 cup but way too sweet, even my kids thought so. I think I might try it with 2 tbsp of sugar and see how it goes instead. Otherwise a super yummy treat, especially topped with a bit of nada moo vanilla ice cream.

The best!!!! It is so so good and I have shared it with so many friends! Thank you guys so much for your recipes!

I made this last night & took it to a potluck for dessert with ice cream. It was a huge success!! Delicious just as the recipes says!

I made this over the weekend for my husband and some friends and it was a hit! I used pink lady and Granny Smith apples. Also used regular sugar since that’s what we had on hand and Breyers vanilla ice cream. Will definitely make again!

This is a great recipe. Simple. My can-eat-anything-and-does husband, liked it! I used about 1/2 c raw brown sugar, and it made a nice, thick syrup. Might try even less sugar next time. Thanks!

I literally came to your website specifically looking for a baked apple recipe! I made this and it was soo yummy. I only had 1/3 cup of coconut sugar so I used 1/3 cup maple syrup also.

Brilliant! It’s not fall in Australia (our autumn) but this was fantastic for midweek family dessert with natural yoghurt to serve. Thanks!
