Baked Apple Slices with Cinnamon

Baking mellows an apple's natural tartness into something softer and sweeter, which is part of why this simple dessert is such an easy one to reach for.

Cooked apple tends to be gentler on the stomach than raw, acidic fruit, making this a snack many people managing acid reflux find more comfortable than something like citrus. Cinnamon adds warmth without any of the sharpness that spicier flavors might bring, and a touch of honey is optional if the apples need a little more sweetness.

Bake until the slices are tender and fragrant, then serve warm on their own or with a spoonful of yogurt.
