Scale
- 50 fresh apples (preferably a mix of Granny Smith, Fuji, and Honeycrisp for varied flavors)
- 3 tablespoons of ground cinnamon
- 2 cups of brown sugar
- 1 cup of honey or maple syrup (optional)
- A pinch of salt (if going for a savory touch)
- Fresh rosemary sprigs (optional for a savory twist)
- Olive oil or melted butter for brushing
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). If using a convection oven, ensure the fan setting is on.
- Wash and dry your apples thoroughly.
- Core each apple using an apple corer or a sharp paring knife.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine cinnamon, brown sugar, and salt.
- Brush each apple lightly with olive oil or melted butter.
- Roll the apples in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Place the apples on a baking sheet, ensuring they aren’t touching each other.
- If using, drizzle with honey or maple syrup and place a sprig of rosemary on each apple for a savory twist.
- Roast in the oven for about 45 minutes, checking after 30 minutes. The apples should turn a beautiful golden hue and be tender yet slightly firm.
- Once roasted, allow the apples to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- You can customize the seasoning based on your preference. Nutmeg or vanilla essence can add an additional depth of flavor.
- For a savory touch, consider adding a sprinkle of black pepper or chili flakes.
