Super Simple Roasted Apples

October 27, 2011 by Joy the Baker 197 Comments

Under no circumstances do I want you to come to this blog, read it, and leave with the sense that I have my act together.  I don’t have my act together.  If it looks for a moment like I have my act together… I’m just barely holding on.  Hear these words.

I was reading a website last week, and the writer posted a picture of her nightstand.  Perfectly mundane.  Perfectly innocent.  Except… the nightstand had three things on it.  Something fancy made by Steve Jobs, something that probably smelled like roses in heaven, and a perfectly placed tube of designer lip gloss.  Perfect layered on perfect, with a dash of perfect. Maybe I freaked out a little on the inside.  Maybe my nightstand is a dusty clutter of books that I’m currently ignoring.  Maybe I can’t find my lip gloss… and if I could it surely would not be designer… and it surely would have cat hair on it.

I’m not much for comparing myself with others… but I am for comparing nightstands apparently.

Mine is not put together.

Also… while we’re here… you should also know that I have to throw my phone in the back seat of my car to keep myself from texting and driving.  All the way in the back.  Otherwise I can’t help myself.

Oh.  Sometimes I daydream about running into the boy I used to date earlier this year.  In my fantasy, I look fantastic… like fatally fantastic.  I’m also with my new (majorly amazingly tall) new boyfriend…. thus making this dummy dude feel like a total shrimp.  I so so so wish for that to happen.

See?  I’m fickle, and messy, and texty… AND I CAN TOTALLY COOK SOME APPLES!!!! So there…

Apples are just bonkers right now.  I say we take advantage of this!

What follows is the most simple recipe for warm, soft, cinnamon-y apples.  I started with crisp Fujis.

Essentially, what we’re going to create is the inside of an apple pie… without all the hassle of pie crust.

One might argue that the crust is the best part of an apple pie.  Fair enough.  Fine.  You’re not entirely wrong.

But pulling these apples out of the oven might change your mind.

You might also consider baking these apples instead of lighting a scented candle .  Your house will smell exactly like heaven.

Why don’t spas smell like warm cinnamon apples?  Someone really should take this into consideration.

I love these apples on yogurt with granola.  I love these warm apples on cold ice cream.  I love these apples on breakfast oatmeal.  I love eating these apples, piping hot, standing over the sheet pan with a fork.

Some things are just simple and delicious.

4 Fuji apples, peeled and sliced thin

1 tablespoon lemon juice

3 tablespoons brown sugar

Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat oven to 400 degrees F.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.  Spread sliced apples across the baking sheet.  Sprinkle with lemon juice.  Sprinkle with brown sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch, all spice, and salt.  Toss with fingers.  Top with cubes of butter and bake for 15 to 25 minutes, until golden and bubbly to your desired doneness.  Remove from oven.  Allow to cool slightly and serve on top of ice cream or oatmeal.  Store in an airtight container for up to up to 3 days.  Reheat in a small pan over low heat on the stovetop.

    Would I be able to throw some cranberries into the mix and cook them the same way with the apples?

Just tryna get the most cheese on my most simple s Just tryna get the most cheese on my most simple small-batch bagel recipe. Get in on this with me: ⁣
⁣
2 Easy No Yeast Bagels⁣
1/2 cup self-rising flour⁣
4 tablespoons greek yogurt (plus a teaspoon or two more if needed)
1 large egg, beaten for egg wash⁣
1/3 - 1/2 cup grated gouda or gruyere⁣

In a small bowl, use a firm spatula to work together the flour and yogurt. Add a few teaspoons of yogurt if it feels dry and knead into a cohesive ball for 5 minutes or so. Sprinkle with a bit more flour if it gets overly sticky. Cover with a damp paper towel and gather your toppings. ⁣
⁣
Divide dough in two and roll each piece into a roughly 8-inch rope. Bring the ends around and pinch into a circle. ⁣
⁣
Sprinkle the bottom of the prepared pan with grated cheese in two spots.  Pour boiling water over the baking soda and float each bagel in the water for 20 or so seconds.  Use a slotted spot or spatula to transfer the bagels on top of the cheese.  Brush lightly with egg. Sprinkle with more cheese and everything bagel seasoning. ⁣
