Ingredients

• 2 medium apples (preferably Honeycrisp or Gala)
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Peel and core the apples. Slice them into 1/4-inch thick wedges.

Step 2

In a medium skillet, combine the water and butter over medium heat. Stir until the butter is melted.

Step 3

Add the apple slices to the skillet. Stir to coat them evenly in the butter mixture.

Step 4

Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon over the apples. Stir gently to distribute the sugar and spice.

Step 5

Drizzle the lemon juice and vanilla extract over the apples. Stir again to combine.

Step 6

Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender but still hold their shape.

Step 7

Remove the lid and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to thicken the sauce slightly.

Step 8

Serve the rosy cinnamon apples warm in small bowls. Optionally, pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
