Ingredients
Scale
Apple Wedges
- 2 large apples (Honeycrisp or Fuji work best)
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for extra crispness)
Caramel Cream Dipping Sauce
- 1/4 cup caramel sauce
- 1/4 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure non-stick baking and easy cleanup.
- Prepare Apple Wedges: Wash and core the apples, then cut them into thick wedges that resemble fries, ensuring uniform size for even cooking.
- Coat Wedges: In a bowl, toss the apple wedges with melted butter, ground cinnamon, brown sugar, a pinch of salt, and if desired, cornstarch for extra crispness. Make sure each wedge is evenly coated with the mixture.
- Arrange and Bake: Spread the coated apple wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to allow for even air circulation. Bake them for 15 to 20 minutes, flipping halfway through baking to ensure all sides become tender and lightly golden on the edges.
- Make Dipping Sauce: While the apple wedges are baking, combine the caramel sauce, sour cream or Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Mix until smooth and creamy, adjusting consistency if necessary.
- Serve: Once the apple wedges are baked and slightly cooled, serve them warm alongside the caramel cream dipping sauce. For extra indulgence, drizzle additional caramel sauce over the apple wedges before serving if desired.
Notes
- For extra flavor, drizzle additional caramel over the apple wedges before serving.
