Baked Apple with Cinnamon is a warm and comforting dessert that balances sweetness and spice with wholesome ingredients. Here’s why it’s such a winning recipe:
Why It Works
- Natural Sweetness: Apples become naturally sweeter when baked, minimizing the need for added sugar.
- Rich in Fiber: Apples are high in dietary fiber, which supports digestion and promotes satiety.
- Flavorful Simplicity: Cinnamon enhances the natural flavor of apples with a warm, aromatic touch, while a drizzle of honey adds a delicate sweetness.
- Comfort Food Appeal: The combination of warm fruit and spices creates a nostalgic, cozy dessert.
How to Make It
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Slice an apple into thin wedges or rounds.
- Arrange the slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Sprinkle generously with cinnamon.
- Drizzle lightly with honey for extra sweetness.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the apples are tender and slightly caramelized.
This dessert is perfect on its own or served with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence!
