These simple baked cinnamon apples are a fall staple. Made with apples, brown sugar, butter, lemon juice, and cinnamon, and nutmeg for the ultimate fall comforting fruit treat. Serve over yogurt, oatmeal, or even as a side to a giant scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Since you’re here, you need to try The Best Dutch Apple Pie with Crumb Topping, Starbucks Apple Crisp Macchiato (iced and hot) and the Better Than Krispy Kreme Apple Donuts.

    Do you need to peel the skin off the apples prior to cooking?
