Oven Baked Apple Slices - Master Recipe #9

I'm behind in my blogging. But I'm back. But something is wrong with the photo uploader, so I'll have to try it again later. When I first saw this recipe in the book, I thought I might wait until fall to make it when apples taste best. But the pragmatist in me took over, as I had extra apples and didn't want to waste them. This was a lot like making apple pie - without the crust. Arguably, the crust is the best part of apple pie, but don't let that stop you from this alternative. Peel, core and slice the apples, add sugar and cinnamon, lemon juice - and of course - butter (unsalted - best for baking). Then bake for about an hour or until the apples are soft and the liquid like syrup - and let the great smells take over your kitchen. Eat warm. Yum. Boys loved it.
