Description
These Vegan Baked Cinnamon Apple Slices capture the essence of a traditional apple pie filling in a tender, caramelized form. By roasting apple rounds in a maples-infused glaze with warming spices, this simple dessert becomes a sophisticated, plant-based treat. Perfect for mindful evenings, these slices offer a grounding and restorative experience, whether enjoyed on their own, topped with coconut cream, or paired with morning porridge.
Ingredients
6 medium Honeycrisp apples, peeled, cored, and sliced into half-inch rounds
2 tbsp vegan buttery sticks, melted
3 tbsp pure maple syrup
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together the melted vegan butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract.
Arrange the apple rounds in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Brush the syrup mixture generously over both sides of each apple slice.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the apples are fork-tender and lightly caramelized.
Remove from the oven and serve warm.
Notes
Select firm apples like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith to ensure they hold their shape during baking. Serve with a dollop of non-dairy yogurt or coconut whipped cream for an added touch of indulgence.
