There’s something deeply nostalgic about a pan of golden-brown apple dessert fresh from the oven — especially when it smells like cinnamon, butter, and brown sugar melting into tender fruit. These Chicago-Style Bakery Apple Slices aren’t quite pie, not quite crisp, but 100% comfort in every bite.
Inspired by Midwestern diners and corner bakeries across Chicago, this easy dessert features thick apple wedges baked with a spiced brown sugar glaze and topped with a buttery, crumbly oat topping that bakes up crisp at the edges and soft in the center.
No crust to roll. No lattice to weave. Just real apples, simple ingredients, and big flavor — all ready in under an hour.
Let’s make the kind of dessert that earns compliments before the last serving is gone. 💛
