Roasted Autumn Crisp Apple Slices
These Roasted Apple Slices consist of olive oil, cumin, coriander, cloves, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. You can easily mix and match the type of apples as well as the spices that you use. I used Autumn Crisp today, which are a cross between Golden Delicious and Monroe apples. They're a crisp apple with both a sweet and tart flavor profile that holds its shape well and works in both raw and baked dishes.
Equipment
- Oven
- Baking Sheet
Ingredients
- 3 apples cored & sliced (I used Autumn Crisp)
- ~1 tbsp. olive oil
- dash cumin
- dash coriander
- dash cloves
- dash smoked paprika
- dash salt
- dash pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Core and slice the apples. Cut into 1/2-inch slices.
- Place the apple slices evenly across a baking sheet and gently coat with an even amount of olive oil, salt, pepper, and whatever other spices you like. I'm partial to nutmeg or cinnamon, cayenne pepper, ginger, and mustard powder. Make sure to turn the apple slices in order to coat all sides.I don't necessarily measure when I do this. I more just shake out of the container until each spice is evenly dispersed. If I had to guess, I'd say that I use about 1/4 teaspoon of each. You're not basting here, you're just adding a subtle flavor to the apples! Just make sure that you don't overdo it in one area. My ginger has been clumping slightly and came out a little quickly. If you're concerned about this, you can always measure out 1/4 teaspoon of each spice, mix in a small bowl, and then dust on top.
- Roast apples at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Make sure to stir or flip the apple slices halfway through to get an even cook on all sides.
