We live in South Carolina's Piedmont area, which is famous for huge apple orchards. This is one of my family's favorite apple recipes. I almost always make this to top off our traditional Sunday dinner.

I made these apples for my family last night and they were a hit! Everyone loved them. I used a mix of apples that I had on hand, and they all turned out great. The apples were soft and juicy, and the cinnamon and sugar topping was perfectly crispy.

These apples were so easy to make and they turned out so delicious! I used a mix of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples, and they were both perfect. The cinnamon and sugar topping was the perfect touch. I will definitely be making these again!
