Sunday Dreaming: Baked Apples

Fall always reminds me of apples and apple picking and home in Washington state. My mom used to make us hot baked whole apples with cinnamon and I still love this treat!  I found this simple roasted apple recipe via the beautiful food blog Not Without Salt {there is so much to drool over here - you have to visit!} These look sooo yummy and perfect for the fall weather . . . 

Roasted Apples

Whatever doesn’t end up on ice cream makes a wonderful addition to oatmeal, yogurt or eaten on their own.

4 large apples (2 lbs), peeled and cut in 1” chunks

1 3” cinnamon stick

½ vanilla bean

1-2 Tbl dark brown sugar

2 Tbl butter

Pre-heat your 450*.

Combine all the ingredients in a roasting pan. Dot the apples with small pieces of the butter. Roast 50-60 minutes, stirring every 15-20 minutes until apples are cooked through and golden around the edges.

Yum!!! I hope you are having a relaxing and beautiful fall weekend!
