Ingredients
  

4 medium-sized apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp are excellent choices)

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1/2 cup pecans, roughly chopped

1/2 cup mini marshmallows (optional, for added sweetness)

Skewers (wooden or metal)

A pinch of sea salt for finishing

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This temperature is ideal for roasting the apples to perfection, allowing them to become tender and caramelized.

    Prepare the Apples: Rinse the apples thoroughly under cold water. After washing, remove the cores and slice each apple into wedges, leaving the skin on to maintain texture and maximize nutrients.

      Combine with Flavorings: In a large mixing bowl, add the apple wedges. Pour in the fresh lemon juice to prevent browning, then drizzle with the pure maple syrup. Sprinkle in the ground cinnamon, optional nutmeg, and chopped pecans. Gently toss the mixture with your hands to ensure each apple wedge is well-coated in the flavorful mixture.

        Assemble the Skewers: Take your skewers and begin threading the apple wedges onto them. For a delightful contrast, alternate the apple wedges with mini marshmallows (if using). Aim to fit about 4-5 apple wedges along with 2-3 marshmallows on each skewer.

          Roast the Skewers: Arrange the assembled skewers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Place them in the preheated oven and roast for approximately 15-20 minutes. Keep an eye on them and turn the skewers halfway through the roasting process to achieve an even caramelization.

            Add Final Touches: After removing the skewers from the oven, allow them to cool for a couple of minutes. For an extra touch of sweetness, feel free to drizzle additional maple syrup over them. Then, finish with a small pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavors.

              Serve & Enjoy: These warm and delicious skewers make a perfect snack or dessert option; serve them at family gatherings, picnics, or simply as a sweet treat to enjoy on your own!
