Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 medium crisp, tart apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Optional Ingredients

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves (optional)
  • Chopped walnuts or pecans for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apples: Wash, peel, and core the apples, then slice them into even, bite-sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly and soak up all the cinnamon goodness.
  2. Melt Butter and Combine Ingredients: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice, stirring until the sugar dissolves and the mixture becomes fragrant.
  3. Cook the Apples: Add the apple slices to the skillet and toss them to coat thoroughly with the cinnamon-sugar butter. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender but still hold their shape.
  4. Optional Additions: If desired, sprinkle in optional spices like nutmeg or cloves, or add chopped nuts near the end of cooking. Stir gently to combine and warm through without losing crunch.
  5. Serve Warm: Remove from heat and enjoy your warm Cinnamon Apples as is or paired with your favorite accompaniments.

Notes

  • Choose tart apples like Granny Smith for the best texture and flavor balance.
  • Cook apples in a single layer in the pan to ensure even caramelization.
  • Adjust the amount of brown sugar to suit your preferred sweetness level.
  • Use fresh ground cinnamon for the most vibrant flavor.
  • Serve Cinnamon Apples immediately while warm to enjoy the full aroma and taste.
