There's something wonderful about the flavor of roasted apples once the weather turns cool. You can also roast pears, plums, apricots, figs, peaches, and nectarines. Prep: 10 minutes, Cook: 35 minutes.
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°.
Step 2
Toss apples with lemon juice to coat evenly in a small bowl.
Step 3
Spread melted butter in an even layer in the bottom of a 15- x 10-inch jellyroll pan or large ovenproof skillet; sprinkle with 1/4 cup sugar. Transfer apples to jellyroll pan, cut side down, reserving any lemon juice remaining in bowl.
Step 4
Combine apple cider and vanilla with lemon juice left in the bowl; pour over the apples and into the pan. Sprinkle apples with remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Roast at 400° for 35 to 45 minutes or until apples are tender and juice mixture begins to caramelize, basting every 15 minutes. Serve warm in a pool of Buttermilk Custard Sauce and with the pan liquid spooned over the top.
