Baked Caramelized Apple Slices

Hello everyone,

We are in full swing of Apple season. I was going to say that I was looking forward to Autumn/fall but I’m not.  I’m still in the summer mood, the summer just went by too fast.  Anyway, we are in October so I have to try to put myself into an Autumn/fall mood but I’m not liking it at all.  But here it goes I challenged myself once again to try this Baked Caramelized Apple Slices recipe.  I say challenged because I have tried to make it once before in the past but it took me a few tries because I couldn’t for the life of me get the combination of sugar and cinnamon right.  Don’t ask me why but I just couldn’t get it right!  So, I never attempted to try this recipe again.

I wanted a fruit dessert with apples but I didn’t want to make the same recipe again this year let’s say apple cake, apple pie, or apple tart.  I wanted something gourmet-ish if you know what I mean.  So, I took out my cookbook with the recipe and well I gave it a go and it worked out.  The apple slices just turned out beautifully,  tender, the caramel was gooey and I was happy. This Baked Caramelized Apple Slices recipe only takes about 15 minutes of your time to prep and 10 minutes in the oven.

These Baked Caramelized Apple Slices are a fruit dessert made with just brown sugar and cinnamon.  For me, Cinnamon is the main ingredient that stands out in this recipe.  I choose to buy good quality cinnamon powder, sticks, not just for this recipe but to use in recipes that call for cinnamon.

There is a Greek pasta recipe that calls for cinnamon that is made in a greek tavern.  Here’s my version:  https://foodzesty.com/greek-style-pasta-with-cinnamon-and-cheese-recipe/

Have a great morning/afternoon/evening everyone!

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie
