Preheat oven to 425.

Peel and dice apples into 1-inch pieces.

The more uniform the apple pieces are, the more evenly they'll cook.

Toss apples with remaining ingredients.

Spread out in an even layer on a sturdy baking sheet or shallow roasting pan.

Roast 10 minutes.

Stir.

Roast another 5-15 minutes until apples are soft enough to mash lightly.

Scrape apples into a dish, mashing lightly.

Leave some chunks, if desired.

Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Serves 8.
