It’s the perfect time to bake as many apple-y, cinnamon-y treats as you can, and today I’m here to share with you one of the easiest, most versatile of them all! These are the quickest (and most delicious – might I add) Baked Cinnamon Apples you will ever make. All you need for this sweet and simple recipe is a few minutes and a couple spare apples – which is why it’s the perfect thing to whip up if you’ve just gone apple picking.
These baked apples are one of my favorite fall treats not only because they are super easy to make, but they are ALWAYS a huge hit! One of the reasons why I love them so much is because they can be used in so many different ways. Scoop them over some ice cream, use them as a topping for pancakes/waffles or enjoy them just as they are.
