Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups of peeled and sliced apples Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, or your preference
  • 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  • Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 35-40 minutes or until the apples are bubbly, and the topping is golden brown.
