These lazy days are in need of delicious and easy desserts, and this recipe is just what the doctor ordered. I’ve made the recipe several times and it’s a winner. Takes a few minutes to prepare and a bit longer to bake, but pretty low-maintenance.

No need to peel the apples, since we’re slicing them thinly, it won’t matter. I also added a few cranberries and it gave the bake a great taste. If you don’t have cranberries, you could add blueberries, raspberries or strawberries, but since those are much softer fruits, I would add those after removing the tin foil to avoid the softer fruits to overcook.
