Ingredients
  

4 medium-sized apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work well)

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/2 cup pecans, chopped

1/2 cup mini marshmallows (optional)

Skewers (wooden or metal)

A pinch of sea salt for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure your apples roast perfectly.

    Prepare the Apples: Wash and core the apples, then cut them into wedges. You can leave the skin on for added texture and nutrients.

      Toss with Flavors: In a large mixing bowl, combine the apple wedges with lemon juice, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and chopped pecans. Toss everything gently until the apple wedges are evenly coated.

        Assemble Skewers: Take your skewers and thread the apple wedges onto them, alternating with mini marshmallows for extra sweetness if using. You can fit about 4-5 apple wedges and a couple of marshmallows on each skewer.

          Roast the Skewers: Place the skewers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, until the apples are tender and slightly caramelized. Flip the skewers halfway through for even roasting.

            Final Touches: Once out of the oven, let them cool for a couple of minutes. Drizzle with additional maple syrup if desired, and sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt on top for enhanced flavor.

              Serve & Enjoy: Serve warm as a delightful snack or dessert. These skewers are perfect for family gatherings, picnics, or even as a sweet treat for yourself!
