Toss apples in greased baking dish with remaining ingredients, and cover tightly with foil.
Bake for about 30 minutes, remove foil and turn up heat to 500 degrees for about another ten minutes, or until apples are soft and some have slightly dark edges.
Remove dish and mash apples with fork, spatula, or masher to desired chunkiness and enjoy!
