Enjoy warm, tender apple slices infused with cinnamon and a touch of sweetness, perfect for a cozy dessert or snack.

4 large baking apples (Firm, crisp apples like Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, Braeburn, or Gala)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
3 tablespoons maple syrup (or brown sugar/coconut sugar)
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon (essential warm spice)
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg (adds depth and warmth)
Pinch salt (to enhance flavors)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, prevents browning)

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
Wash, core, and slice apples into ¼-½ inch thick slices; toss with lemon juice if desired.
Mix melted butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a bowl.
Pour the mixture over apple slices, toss to coat evenly, and spread in a single layer.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until apples are tender and caramelized.

Serve warm for the best flavor and aroma.
