Autumn Spiced Baked Apples

This was described as a casserole of apples. I hadn't thought of making a casserole out of apples, but it was a lovely baked apple dish that I tried and decided to share. I halved the recipe to fit this little dish and my family.

Autumn Spiced Baked Apples 

Serves: 2

Ingredients:

3 large apples (I used Granny Smith.) peeled, cored, and sliced

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/8 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 teaspoons flour

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup chopped pecans

1/4 cup dried cranberries

1/3 cup honey

1 1/2 teaspoon butter, melted

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350° F (190°C). Grease your casserole dish, mine was 8-inches x 5.75-inches, and set aside. In a large mixing bowl combine the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, nutmeg, and salt. Add the sliced and prepared apples and toss gently with the spice mixture to evenly coat. Fold in the cranberries and nuts. In a small bowl combine the melted butter, lemon juice, honey, and vanilla. Drizzle this over the apples and gently stir to coat. Pour this out into your baking dish and spread it out evenly. 

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven for 30 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake an additional 15-20 minutes, until the apples are tender and just starting to lightly brown. 

Allow to cool some before serving.
