Ingredients
- 4 apples (preferably firm varieties like Gala or Fuji)
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup water
- 0 optional optional toppings (e.g., chopped almonds or whipped cream)
Directions
Step 1
Peel and core the apples, then slice them into quarters or eighths, depending on your preference for size.
Step 2
In a medium-sized skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the granulated sugar and stir until it begins to dissolve.
Step 3
Add water, honey, and lemon juice to the pan. Stir to combine, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 4
Carefully place the apple slices into the pan, arranging them in a single layer if possible. Sprinkle the ground cinnamon evenly over the apples.
Step 5
Cover the pan and let the apples cook over low heat for about 15-20 minutes, gently flipping them halfway through. Cook until they are tender but not mushy.
Step 6
Remove the cover and let the sauce reduce for an additional 5 minutes, until it thickens to a light syrup consistency and coats the apples.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked apples to a serving dish. Spoon the sauce from the pan over the apples for added flavor.
Step 8
Let the dish cool slightly before serving. Optionally, garnish with chopped almonds, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of additional cinnamon.
