Method

You’ll need: oven · baking tray · chopping board · knife

1. Wash the apples thoroughly, remove the cores and cut them into even rings.
2. Brush the apple rings thinly on both sides with melted coconut oil and lay them on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
3. Sprinkle the cinnamon evenly over the apple rings so they get a fragrant finish in the oven.
4. Bake the apple rings in the oven at 180 °C (160 °C fan) for 15–20 min, until soft and lightly browned at the edges.
5. Add the chopped walnuts shortly before the end of the baking time so they toast lightly without burning.
6. Serve the baked apple rings warm, ideally straight from the tray.
