Ingredients:

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) to begin.

2. Prepare Apples:

   • Peel and slice 3 to 4 tart apples. You can choose your favorite variety, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
   • Place the sliced apples in an ungreased baking dish, spreading them out evenly.

3. Drizzle with Lemon Juice:

   • Drizzle 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice over the sliced apples. This adds a tangy brightness to the dish.
   • Gently toss the apples to ensure they are coated evenly with the lemon juice. This also helps prevent browning.

4. Create the Sauce:

   • In a small saucepan, combine 2/3 cup of brown sugar, 2/3 cup of butter, and 3 teaspoons of cinnamon.
   • Cook and stir the mixture over medium heat until the sugar is completely dissolved and the butter is melted. This will create a rich, caramel-like sauce with warm cinnamon notes.

5. Pour Over Apples:

   • Once the sauce is ready, pour it evenly over the sliced apples in the baking dish. Ensure that all the apples are coated with the delicious cinnamon-brown sugar mixture.

6. Bake to Perfection:

   • Place the baking dish, uncovered, in the preheated oven.
   • Bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until the apples are tender and have absorbed the flavors of the sauce.
   • You’ll know it’s ready when the apples are soft yet still hold their shape, with a tantalizing aroma wafting from the oven.

7. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Once baked, remove the Apple Bake from the oven and let it cool slightly.
   • This dish is best enjoyed warm, straight out of the oven.
   • Serve it as a comforting dessert, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped topping.
   • The creamy sweetness of the ice cream or whipped topping beautifully complements the tender, spiced apples.
