Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. Core and thinly slice 3 medium apples into 1/8-inch rounds and arrange them in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Step 2: Sprinkle 1 tsp ground cinnamon and 2 tbsp brown sugar evenly over the apple slices.
  3. Step 3: Roast the apples for 15-18 minutes until they soften and edges caramelize, then remove from oven and let cool slightly.
  4. Step 4: Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 1/3 cup granulated sugar, stirring constantly until it turns a deep amber color, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Step 5: Immediately add 2 tbsp unsalted butter, stirring until melted and combined, then slowly whisk in 1/4 cup heavy cream and 2 tbsp light corn syrup until smooth and glossy.
  6. Step 6: Drizzle the warm caramel sauce over the roasted apple slices and serve warm or at room temperature.
