Delicious baked apple slices tossed in cinnamon and sugar and cooked to perfection are the perfect dessert to serve up with caramel and ice cream.

I can’t think of a simpler dessert to make that is tastier than this.  This recipe has such simple ingredients that most people already have in their house.  It can help turn a boring scoop of ice cream into a delicious treat for any time of the day.

If you love easy to prepare desserts like this one, then you absolutely have to check out my chocolate mousse or churros recipe.

Best Apples for Baking

I always like a combination of sweet and tart when making baked apple slices to help balance off the flavors.  Here’s a list of apples that are best for baking:

  • Fuji
  • Gala
  • Braeburn
  • Pink Lady
  • Granny Smith
  • McIntosh
  • Gala
  • Golden Delicious

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.

slicing chunks off of apples

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.

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

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

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:

  • Pork chops with apples
  • Galette
  • Fall Sangria Recipe
  • Kale Smoothie
  • Mulligatawny Soup

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.

    This recipe is now a family favorite. I use it with the pork chop recipe, and there’s never any leftover. Thank you for making your recipes printable online. You have shown me how to make dishes that taste special with just marginally extra effort.
    (I do have a question about why it says 350 degrees in the recipe portion, but 375 degrees in the photo caption above and in your video.) Thank you!
