I love fall, I know we aren't quite in it yet but we have had some cooler days, the watermelon and cantaloupe of summer are now out of season and the thought of apple pie, apple dumplings and apple everything are seeping into my thoughts. I cannot make myself apple pies weekly or I would have to do a lot more yoga! I was so glad I had inspiration the other day when I wanted apple pie to just bake some apples with cinnamon and maple syrup. The apples were nice and soft, deliciously sweet and with the first bite they tasted of apple pie. This is a great way to have a sweet treat with almost no guilt.
Roasted Cinnamon Maple Apples: Serves 1
1 Apple - I prefer pink/green combos - honeycrisp, gala, pink lady, fuji
1/2tsp Cinnamon
1TB Maple Syrup
Peel the apple then slice and/or cube it into equal size pieces and mix with the cinnamon and maple syrup until they evenly coat the apple pieces. Place in a small greased baking dish and bake at 400° for approximately 20-30 mimnutes until the apples are easily pierced by a fork. Remove from the oven, give the apples a stir, let them cool down for a few minutes then serve and enjoy!

This is so simple and something I wouldn't really think to do! Love this idea! I want to try it, like, right now!
ReplyDeleteSo good, Jillian! I had a few extra points today, so I crumbled a half-sheet of reduced fat graham cracker on top. That made it even more apple pie-ish!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you enjoyed it, Another poster mentioned to me that she uses the graham crackers too! I will have to get some and try it out
