How to make baked apples
Prep
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Wash and peel the apples. Cut into half-inch to one-inch pieces, removing the seeds. Place in a large bowl and mix in the lemon juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
Pop the butter in the microwave for 10 to 20 seconds to melt. Pour over the cut apple slices and mix thoroughly.
Next, whisk the cornstarch and water together to form a slurry. Add to the coated apple slices and mix again. This will help thicken up the butter, sugar and apple juices while cooking and give you that apple pie filling texture. Yum!
Bake
Transfer the apple pieces to a baking dish.
Cover with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for another 20 minutes.
Remove from the oven and serve warm or cold.
