Hot Apples [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Ingredients

• 4 apples (Fuji and Gala are excellent)
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 vanilla bean

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Kid’s job! Using a swivel peeler and a kid-safe knife, peel, core, and cut your apples into 2-inch chunks.
3. Pile the chunks into a medium casserole dish and sprinkle with the cinnamon. Cut the vanilla bean in half lengthwise. Reserve one half for another use. Scrape the insides of the other half into the casserole, then add the empty bean carcass. Mix thoroughly.
4. Cover the casserole with foil and bake for 1 hour. Remove the casserole from the oven and uncover. Let the apples cool for at least 5 minutes.
5. Once cool enough to eat, the apples will be spoon-tender. Dig in.
