Ingredients
- 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
Instructions
- Prepare the apples: Peel, core, and slice the two medium apples into thin, even slices to ensure they cook evenly.
- Heat the butter: Place a medium-sized skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Allow it to melt and start to bubble slightly but not brown.
- Sauté the apples: Add the sliced apples to the melted butter in the skillet. Stir them gently to coat all slices with the butter.
- Add cinnamon: Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon evenly over the apples. Stir well to combine the cinnamon thoroughly with the apples and butter.
- Cook until tender: Continue to cook the apples for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and become fragrant but still hold their shape.
- Serve warm: Remove from heat and serve the cinnamon apples warm. They can be enjoyed on their own or as a topping for oatmeal, pancakes, or ice cream.
Notes
- Choose crisp apple varieties like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for a nice balance of tartness and sweetness.
- Adjust cinnamon to taste for a milder or stronger flavor.
- For additional sweetness, drizzle a little honey or maple syrup during cooking.
- This recipe is quick and best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
