Ingredients
- 2 medium Apples
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
Directions
Step 1
Peel, core, and dice the apples into small, even cubes to ensure uniform cooking.
Step 2
In a medium-sized skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until fully melted and bubbling.
Step 3
Add the diced apples to the skillet and sprinkle them with lemon juice, which helps to prevent browning and adds a bit of tang.
Step 4
Stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon. Continue stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved and the apples are well-coated.
Step 5
Add the salt and stir it into the mixture.
Step 6
In a small bowl, combine the water and cornstarch, and mix until smooth, creating a slurry. This will help thicken the sauce.
Step 7
Pour the cornstarch slurry into the skillet with the apples. Stir continuously to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 8
Cook the apples for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are tender and the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
Step 9
Remove the skillet from heat and let the topping cool slightly before serving.
Step 10
Serve warm over pancakes, waffles, ice cream, or oatmeal. Enjoy your homemade cinnamon and apple topping!
