60 minutes

Chicken baked with cinnamon and apples is a refined dish of European cuisine that combines tender meat and sweet fruity notes. The cinnamon added to the marinade gives the chicken a warm, slightly spicy aroma, while the apples, baking alongside the meat, infuse it with natural sweetness and juiciness. This recipe evokes traditional autumn dishes when spices and fruits transform simple ingredients into a culinary masterpiece. The chicken comes out with a golden crust, and the apples caramelize, creating a perfect blend of flavors. The dish is great for both family dinners and festive gatherings, especially on cool evenings when you want to warm up with the aromas of spices and baked fruits.
