Baked Apple Slices in Oven Tips and Tricks

Before starting to prepare this delicious dessert, I want to let you know some essential tips and tricks when cooking apple slices in the oven. You are already used to my way of doing things – research before everything! I am aware that sometimes you might find this section a little boring and even skip it, but, please, keep in mind that for me the PRO Tips are often game changers!

• You can always also peel the apples, however, I like to keep their skin. If you prepare this dessert for your kids, is probably best to peel the apples – they tend to prefer this dessert like that! On the other hand, keep in mind that keeping the skin on helps the apples not to become too mushy.
• For an even healthier baked apple slices recipe, replace the sugar with honey or maple syrup. The maple syrup will also bring a hint of caramel and toffee to the dessert’s flavor.

• Before serving you can drop a pat of butter on the hot apples and let it melt just a little. However, most of us prefer the old good vanilla ice cream on top of our baked apple slices.
• Add chopped walnuts, pecans, or sliced almonds on top of your apple slices before baking for a crunchier texture.
• Try other spices, like pumpkin pie spice or Chinese five-spice, for a more festive and surprising flavor.
