Oven-Baked Spiced Apple Delight with Honey & Vanilla
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F and allow it to warm up as you prepare the apples.
2. Prepare the apples: Peel, core, and slice the apples into uniform pieces, about 1/4 inch thick to ensure even cooking.
3. Mix the spices: In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon of ground allspice, and 1/4 teaspoon of ground cardamom. Stir until the spices are well blended.
4. Create the honey-vanilla drizzle: In a separate bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of honey with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Gradually add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and whisk until it becomes a smooth, consistent drizzle.
5. Toss the apples: Place the apple slices in a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle the prepared spice mix over the apples, tossing them gently to ensure even coating.
6. Drizzle and bake: Pour the honey-vanilla drizzle over the spiced apples, ensuring they are well-covered. Transfer the coated apple slices to a baking dish in a single layer.
7. Bake in the oven: Place the dish in the preheated oven for approximately 25 minutes, or until the apples are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through cooking time to ensure even baking.
8. Serve: Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm, either on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
