Cinnamon Sugar Baked Apple Slices
Baked apple slices is one of those super simple desserts that I look forward to every fall. I love baked apples in any way, apple dumplings, apple fritters, apple pie…Melinda and I even made individual apple pies in a jar for Christmas gifts one year.
This simple recipe for cinnamon baked apples is the easiest of my apple recipes. All you need are a few crisp granny smith apples, some cinnamon and sugar, and a warm oven and you end up with a delicious apple dessert that tastes like a little bite of fall.

What are the Best Apples to Use for Baked Apples?

How to Make Baked Apple Slices:
- Peel and cut the apples. Start by peeling the apples and then slicing them into thin slices, around 1/4 inch thick.
- Toss in cinnamon sugar. You’ll want to coat the apple slices in cinnamon sugar. First mix the cinnamon, sugar, and a pinch of salt together in a bowl and then place the apple slices in a large bowl or in a gallon freeze bag, pour the cinnamon sugar oven them, and toss to coat.
- Layer apples in baking dish. Next you layer the apple slices in a greased dish fanning them out in a circle, one on top of the other, until the whole dish is filled. Top it off with a few pats of butter and pop it in the oven.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 25-30 minutes.
When the baked apple slices come out of the oven the apples are dripping with this amazing glaze of hot and bubbly caramelized sugar and cinnamon, and the whole house smells like apple pie.
You can eat them with a spoon (you’re going to want a spoon to scoop up every bit of that sauce) or you can serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top (this is my favorite way!).
Can Make Baked Apples Ahead of Time?
Yes. Once they have baked and cooled completely you can store these in the refrigerator in a sealed container for up to 1 week. To reheat you can place them in a sauce pan on the stove top over medium heat until warmed through or you can re-heat them in the microwave for 2-3 minutes or until warmed through.

Hi! How much butter is a “pat?” A teaspoon? Thanks!
Hi Jennie, 5 pats of butter would be about 2 1/2 Tablespoons (sliced up into 5 pieces).
these look SOOOOOO good! What temp for oven? (
375 degrees F.
Fall means apples at my house, and that makes me a happy girl! This is going on the must make list.
Sounds absolutely yummy. Going to try this recipe tonight. Sounds easy. But I bet eating it will be easier. Lolol. Thank you
Easy, delicious!
I made this and it turned out great. Thank you for the recipe!!
Can you freeze them once they are baked?
Hi PJ, no unfortunately you cannot refreeze baked apples once they are cooked. It changes the texture, sorry.
Best dessert ever by far! Husband and 8 year old agree.
I made these today and they were delicious. I love the simplicity and the low number of ingredients. I’ll be making these again soon.
I am going to make & use as a Oatmeal topper. Apples in the oven now, can’t wait.
That is one of my favorite ways to use it. So good!! Let us know what you think.

That was so good as a Oatmeal topper, plus we have just enough for a ice cream topper.
