Ingredients

Scale

Apples

  • 2 medium apples

Spices & Butter

  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apples: Wash, core, and slice the medium apples into thin, even slices to ensure they cook uniformly.
  2. Melt Butter: In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter until it starts to foam gently.
  3. Sauté Apples: Add the sliced apples to the melted butter. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples soften and begin to turn golden.
  4. Add Cinnamon: Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon over the apples. Stir well to evenly coat the slices with cinnamon, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the apples to become tender but not mushy.
  5. Serve Warm: Remove from heat and transfer the cinnamon apples to a serving dish. Enjoy them warm as a snack, dessert, or a side to your favorite dishes.

Notes

  • Choose firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best texture and flavor.
  • For a sweeter treat, sprinkle a teaspoon of brown sugar or drizzle honey while cooking.
  • This dish can be served as a topping for pancakes, waffles, or oatmeal.
  • Adjust cinnamon quantity to taste for a milder or stronger spice flavor.
