To prepare a delicious recipe for caramelized apples with cinnamon, we start by peeling the apples. We choose fresh apples, preferably varieties that bake well in the heat, such as Granny Smith or Fuji apples, for a pleasant contrast between sweet and tart. After washing them well under a stream of cold water, we cut them in half, taking care to carefully remove the seeds. Ideally, we should cut them into thick slices of about 1.5 cm to ensure they bake evenly and maintain a pleasant texture.
We place the apple pieces in a bowl or a deep dish, where we will add the mixture of sugar and cinnamon. In another container, we combine the sugar with the cinnamon, being careful to mix the ingredients well. The amount of sugar can vary depending on personal preferences; however, a ratio of 100-150 g of sugar for 4 apples is often sufficient. Once the mixture is uniform, we generously sprinkle it over the apples, making sure each piece is well coated. Using a spatula or our hands, we gently mix the apples so that the sugar sticks to each slice.
After the apples are prepared, we place them on a hot grill. The heat should be moderate so that the sugar caramelizes gradually without burning. We allow the apples to bake for about 5-7 minutes, turning them occasionally to ensure even caramelization. The inviting aroma of cinnamon will spread in the air, making our mouths water.
When the apples are ready, we carefully place them on plates. On top, we sprinkle ground nuts and sugar to add extra texture and flavor. This combination will provide a crunchy and delicious contrast. The caramelized apples can be served warm, and for those who want to indulge their taste buds, a serving of whipped cream adds a creamy element that pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the apples. The ground nuts can be replaced or combined with almonds or hazelnuts, thus offering a personalized touch to this simple yet refined recipe. Enjoy this dessert with your loved ones, savoring every bite!
