Oven Baked Apple Slices - cooking recipe

Ingredients

6 medium apples (Granny Smith or Golden Delicious)
1/4 c. sugar, blended with 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
4 Tbsp. (1/2 stick) butter

Preparation

Quarter, core and peel the apples.
Cut the quarters into lengthwise thirds to make slices about 1/2 inch wide at the outside edge.
Toss in a bowl with the sugar, then with the lemon juice and finally with the melted butter.
Let sit 3 or 4 minutes to render juices and absorb flavor.
Taste and fold in more sugar if needed.
Preheat oven to 425\u00b0.
Turn apples into 6 x 9-inch baking dish and set in the middle level of the oven, basting every 8 to 10 minutes with accumulated juices.
Apples are done when slices are tender.
If juices have not thickened, remove with bulb baster and boil down in small saucepan.
Pour over apples.
