Ingredients
  

4 medium-sized apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji), cored and cut into wedges

1/4 cup maple syrup

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

1/4 cup pecans or walnuts, roughly chopped

1/4 cup dried cranberries or raisins

8 wooden skewers (about 6 inches long)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Pinch of salt

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Apples: In a large bowl, toss the apple wedges with lemon juice, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and a pinch of salt until well coated.

    Skewering: Take the skewers and thread the apple wedges, alternating with the chopped pecans (or walnuts) and dried cranberries (or raisins). You can fit about 4-5 apple wedges on each skewer, depending on size.

      Roasting: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the skewers on the baking sheet and drizzle the remaining maple syrup over them.

        Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 15-20 minutes, until the apples are tender and slightly caramelized. You may want to flip the skewers halfway through for even roasting.

          Serving: Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and serve warm. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired for a pop of color and flavor.

            Enjoy: These maple roasted apple snack skewers are perfect as a sweet treat, a healthy snack, or a beautiful addition to your dessert table!
