Oven-Baked BLW Cinnamon Fried Apples Recipe
To embark on the journey of creating delectable baked apples, start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). As the anticipation builds, choose a baking dish that allows the apple slices to luxuriate in a single layer. Moving to the main stars of the show, wash, core, and thinly slice your apples with precision, aiming for uniformity to ensure an even baking experience. A mandolin slicer can be a helpful companion, but a sharp knife is equally adept. Enter the realm of flavor by seasoning the apple slices with cinnamon, and if your culinary adventure involves sugar or syrup, this is the time to introduce them to the mix. Toss everything in a generous bowl, ensuring each apple slice is coated in the tantalizing blend. With the stage set, arrange your apple slices in the baking dish, avoiding overlap to guarantee uniform caramelization. The grand finale begins as you pop the dish into the preheated oven, allowing the apples to transform over 20-25 minutes. Keep a watchful eye, and halfway through, give them a gentle stir to promote an even caramelized symphony. As the aroma fills your kitchen, bask in the satisfaction of a culinary masterpiece. Once done, gracefully remove the dish from the oven and let the baked apples cool for a few minutes. These divine creations can be savored as a delightful dessert or served as a tantalizing side dish, elevating any meal with their sweet and caramelized allure.
Chef’s Tip: For an extra touch of indulgence, serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy the symphony of flavors and the comforting warmth these oven-baked apples bring to the table!
FAQs
1. Can I use any type of apple for this recipe? While you can use most apple varieties, certain types hold up better when microwaved. Fuji, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn apples maintain their texture and have a nice balance of sweet-tart flavor. However, Red Delicious might become a bit mushy, so it’s better to avoid them for this recipe.
2. How do I store the leftover cinnamon apples? Cool the leftovers to room temperature and transfer them into an airtight container. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for a minute or until warm before serving.
3. Can I add other fruits or berries to this recipe? Absolutely! You can add fruits like pears or berries such as blueberries or raspberries for a varied flavor profile. Just keep an eye on the microwave time as softer fruits might need less time to cook.
4. Can I make this recipe without sugar? Yes, you can. The natural sweetness of apples, especially if you’re using a naturally sweeter variety, can shine on its own. If you prefer an extra hint of sweetness, consider adding a drizzle of honey or maple syrup after cooking.
5. Is it essential to stir the apples halfway through cooking? It’s recommended. Stirring helps to evenly distribute heat and ensures that all apple slices cook uniformly. This step helps avoid overcooked or undercooked pieces.
