A delightful recipe that celebrates the abundance of apples. Perfect for using up a large harvest, this dish bursts with flavor and can be enjoyed as a snack, dessert, or side dish.
Ingredients
- 6 large apples (any variety or a mix), peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup water or apple cider

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Place the sliced apples in a large bowl. Drizzle the lemon juice over the apples to prevent browning.

- Transfer the apple mixture to the prepared baking dish. Pour the melted butter over the top.
- Add the water or apple cider to the dish to help create a sauce as the apples bake.
- Sprinkle chopped nuts on top, if using.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the top is golden.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
