Ingredients
- 4 medium (about 6 oz each) Apples
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 pinch Salt
Directions
Step 1
Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges, approximately 1/4-inch thick.
Step 2
In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Step 3
Once the butter is melted, stir in the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Cook for about 1 minute until the mixture is glossy and fragrant.
Step 4
Add the sliced apples to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly in the butter-sugar mixture.
Step 5
Pour in the water to help soften the apples and prevent sticking. Stir to combine.
Step 6
Cook the apples over medium heat for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but not mushy.
Step 7
Taste and adjust sweetness or cinnamon as desired.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat and let the cooked apples cool slightly before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm as a stand-alone dessert, a topping for oatmeal, pancakes, or yogurt, or as a filling for pastries.
