A delightful dessert featuring tender apples baked in a cinnamon caramel sauce, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even baking from the start.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and granulated sugar.
Use a whisk to evenly distribute the sugar in the flour.
Gradually add the milk to the dry mixture, stirring until smooth.
Pour the milk slowly to avoid lumps.
Pour the batter into a greased baking dish.
Use a spatula to spread the batter evenly.
Peel, core, and slice the apples, then arrange them over the batter.
Slice the apples thinly for even cooking.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the apple slices.
This prevents the apples from browning and adds a tangy flavor.
Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon evenly over the apples.
Mix the sugar and cinnamon beforehand for even distribution.
Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top.
Warm the caramel sauce slightly for easier drizzling.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the top is golden and the apples are tender.
Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
