In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

Step 6
Reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan, cooking for 10-12 minutes or until the apples are tender.
Step 7
Remove the lid and continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow some of the liquid to evaporate and the sauce to thicken slightly.
