A delightful dessert featuring tender baked apples infused with warm spices, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Peel, core, and slice the apples into even wedges.
Uniform slices ensure even baking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the water, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, lemon juice, and sugar substitute.
Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the spices.
Arrange the apple slices in a baking dish and pour the spice mixture over them.
Ensure the apples are evenly coated for consistent flavor.
Dot the apples with small pieces of butter.
Butter adds richness and helps with caramelization.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the apples are tender.
Check halfway through and stir gently for even cooking.
Serve the baked apples warm or cold, as desired.
Pair with a dollop of yogurt or ice cream for a delightful treat.
