After a day of long flight delays, all I want to do is eat a bowl of ice cream topped with warm baked apples. Something about freshly baked apples just comforts the soul– and that’s exactly what I need. San Francisco’s weather has been kicking my butt lately. All I wanted to do was get home in time so that I can visit my bestie tomorrow, but nope… apparently mother nature had other plans for me.
I’m really bummed that I won’t be going to Utah since I’m long overdue for a visit and I miss my BFF so darn much. Plus, I had a bunch of baked goods to bring with me. Bahhh excuse my ranting. A 5 hour work day turned into 16 and I’m a bit tired.
I’ll get right to the point: Baked Apples. Warm. Cinnamon-y. Simple. Just as good eaten with a fork as it is served with ice cream. Bam.
Ingredients
- 3 fuji apples, peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- juice of half a lemon
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter
Directions
- Preheat oven to 420 degrees.
- Mix all of the ingredients (except for the last) together in a bowl until apples are evenly coated. Cube the butter and scatter on top of the apples.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes.
Yum! I think that I a making these tonight! We don’t do deserts a whole lot here but this one seems fitting for a cold/wet winter’s night! Its warm us from the inside out– well, until we eat the ice cream! Thanks for the idea!

So simple and good, have to try this when the weather here gets a bit warmer so we can have ice cream without freezing!!

Wow it looks delicous and makes my little but hungry stomach starves. I think cheddar cheese will be a good toppings for me. 🙂
Looks delicious! I’ll have to try these sometime.
