Baked Cinnamon Apples are so delicious and easy to prepare.

We love them in a pie, on ice cream, or especially as a side dish during the holidays or really, any time of the year.

Mmmmm…!

Baked Cinnamon Apples

HOW TO MAKE BAKED CINNAMON APPLES

You can’t believe how incredible your house will smell as these apples bake.

Watch us show you how easy it is to prepare Bake Cinnamon Apples:

This dish is one of our all-time favorite dishes. We love apples of all kinds and you really can’t go wrong with whichever type of apple you go with.

We love to use Gala or Honey Crisp apples.

They are literally bursting with delicious apple goodness.

The ingredients in this dish are so accessible and so comforting.

Use good-quality cinnamon and vanilla extract.

We LOVE Neilsen-Massey extracts and flavorings, but you can certainly go with whatever you have on hand.

Ingredients for Baked Cinnamon Apples

We like this version because the apples don’t get mushy.

They are soft but still taste like apples.

With amazing cinnamon, vanilla, and butter sauce.   Just divine!

    Is there a substitute you can use for the apple coder?

      Hi Emily, if you can’t find apple cider, you could substitute apple juice. Apple cider gives a little deeper apple taste, but juice will work, too. Let us know how it turns out! Best, Kris & Wesley

      Hi Michele, we’ve used quite a variety with this dish, and never been disappointed. We like Honeycrisp and Red Delicious a lot, but Macintosh Red would work well, too. After baking in the cinnamon and butter, pretty much any apple is going to taste yummy! You can’t go wrong! Let us know how it turns out. Best, Kris & Wesley

    This sounds delicious! I have a child with a dairy allergy, do you think it would be good with the butter omitted, or should I use coconut oil?

      Hi Monica, I would try is with the coconut oil. But, it would still be good without it. Apples baked with cinnamon are going to be good, no matter what! Let us know how they turn out! Best, Kris & Wesley

    So, I just made this. Now I am wondering about making it with a crust of some sort? To serve as a dessert for a dinner party? To make it more fancy? HELP me please

      Hi Jay! So sorry for the delayed response…we’ve been out of town and unable to respond to comments. In the Southern U.S., this dish is popular as a side dish. It would be wonderful served warm with vanilla ice cream for a wonderful dessert. I’ve even taken a flour tortilla, added some mascarpone cheese and then added the warm apples and then folded them in the tortillas like a taco and cooked the sides in a skillet with about a tbsp of oil, just to crisp it up. Really delicious! Hope this helps! Stay in touch! Best, Kris & Wesley
