This 5-ingredient oven baked apple treat is my go-to when I want something cozy and homemade without dirtying every dish in the kitchen. You literally toss whole, raw, unpeeled apples into a glass baking dish, pour a quick pantry-friendly mixture over the top, and let the oven turn everything into a soft, caramel-y dessert. It reminds me of the simple baked fruit desserts my Midwest grandma used to make on Sunday nights—nothing fancy, just warm, spiced apples that make the whole house smell amazing. It’s perfect for busy weeknights, last-minute guests, or when the grandkids (or your own kids) are circling the kitchen asking what’s for dessert.
Serve these baked apples warm, spooning plenty of the sweet spiced syrup from the bottom of the dish over the top. They’re great on their own, but even better with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or a spoonful of vanilla yogurt if you want to keep it lighter. I like to slice the apples right in the dish and serve them with the syrup over oatmeal the next morning, or tuck them into a warm tortilla with a sprinkle of cinnamon for a quick dessert taco. A hot cup of coffee, tea, or cider on the side makes this feel like a cozy little fall moment any time of year.
