Ingredients
Scale
Apple Wedges
- 4 large apples, cored and cut into wedges
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
Caramel Cream Dipping Sauce
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Prepare Apple Wedges: In a large bowl, combine the apple wedges with melted butter, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, salt, and optional nutmeg. Toss thoroughly to coat all wedges evenly with the spiced sugar mixture.
- Arrange and Bake: Spread the coated apple wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through to achieve a golden, tender finish on all sides.
- Make Caramel Cream Sauce: While the apples bake, pour the heavy cream, brown sugar, and butter into a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves completely and the sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract to finish.
- Serve: Plate the warm apple wedges fries and serve alongside the caramel cream dipping sauce for dipping. Enjoy this delightful, warm dessert immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For added texture and nutty flavor, sprinkle chopped toasted pecans over the apple wedges just before serving.
- To make a dairy-free version of the dipping sauce, substitute coconut cream for the heavy cream.
- These apple wedges fries are best enjoyed fresh and warm right out of the oven to preserve their crispness and flavor.
