How Do You Slice Apples for Baking

When it comes to slicing them, you need to cut around the core. Here is how I safely slice them:

Start by peeling the apples completely.

Slice a side off of the apple about a 1/4 of an inch around the inside core.

Place the slice side down on the cutting board to stabilize it from rocking back and forth and repeat the process around the core.

Slice each chunk into thinly cut pieces.

How to Make Baked Apples

1. Place the apples in a large bowl for mixing.

2. Add in melted unsalted butter, sugars, cinnamon, salt and cornstarch.

3. Mix with a spoon or rubber spatula until completely coated.

4. Transfer the apples to an oval baking casserole dish.

5. Bake at 375° for 45 minutes stirring every 15 minutes until they’re finished.

What to Do With Extra Apple Slices

There are a number of things you can do with extra apple slices and here are a few ideas:

Are They Healthy

Since the baked apple slices are tossed in sugar and melted butter they aren’t considered healthy. You could scale back on both of those ingredients to help offset the amount of fat and sugar intake and let the natural flavors from the apples come through.

Recipe Chef Notes + Tips

How to Reheat: Place in a pan with a lid and place in the oven at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until hot. Likewise, you can also heat in the microwave until hot.

How to Store: Once cool, place covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. They will also freeze well covered for up to 2 months. Thaw for 1 day in the refrigerator before reheating.

If you don’t want to cook the apples until the next day places them in a bowl submerged in pineapple juice to stop them from turning brown.

These also great with chicken, fish or apples so be sure to get creative as they are not only a sweet treat.

You can use a 9″ or 10″ oval casserole dish when baking.
