Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 large yellow onion
• 2 medium apples
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and thinly slice the yellow onion. Set aside.

Core and thinly slice the apples, leaving the skin on for added texture and nutrition. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

Sprinkle the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, salt, and black pepper over the apples and onions. Stir well to evenly distribute the seasoning.

Cook the mixture for an additional 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender but not mushy, and the onions are golden and fully caramelized.

Step 8

Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or cinnamon as desired.

Step 9

Transfer the cooked apples and onions to a serving dish. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of color and flavor.
