CINNAMON CARAMEL APPLES

I had the pleasure of using my kitchen to taste test this recipe for baked apples. My house was filled with the mouth-watering smell of apples and cinnamon. It was so easy and delicious, I had to test this recipe again...and again! 
Bake apples  at 350 degrees for 20-45 minutes depending on the type and quantity of apples. 
The more apples you have packed in the dish, the longer it takes to bake.
This recipe is oh, so easy! The ingredients can be adjusted to feed a crowd of 50 or to make just enough for one or two to enjoy. 
Shiny, clean Gala apples.
Choose your favorite apple!

My superman used an apple corer slicer to make quick work!

Wash, core and slice 2 apples.
Toss the apples with the following mixture:
1 teaspoon cornstarch 
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg 
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a baking dish. Add the coated apples and bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes (or until the apples are tender). Stir to cover the apples with that yummy cinnamon caramel sauce that will be in the bottom of the pan and serve! 

We used one stick of butter in a 9 X 13 casserole dish and 10 apples.
Tossed apples in the brown sugar and cinnamon coating.
We used a gallon-size plastic bag to mix four apples at a time to make sure the apples were evenly coated.
Left over apples should be stored in the refrigerator. This makes a delicious side dish whether it is served hot or cold. But on a day like today, you'll want to serve this warm from the oven!
