Ingredients

• 4 pieces Apples (medium-sized, any variety such as Fuji or Honeycrisp)
• 2 pieces Bananas
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
• 1 serving Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Peel and core the apples, then slice them into wedges. Place the apple wedges in a medium-sized baking dish.

Step 3

Peel the bananas and cut them into 1/2-inch thick slices. Add the banana slices to the baking dish with the apples.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, melted butter, and lemon juice until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the honey mixture over the apples and bananas, tossing gently to coat all the pieces evenly.

Step 6

If using, sprinkle the chopped walnuts or pecans over the fruit mixture for added crunch and flavor.

Step 7

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Step 8

After 20 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the bananas are caramelized.

Step 9

Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm as-is, or top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
