Ingredients

• Apples – You can use any kind of apples for this recipe. Figi, Granny Smith, Golden Delicious and Pink Lady are all great varieties.
• Butter – Unsalted butter is used to cook the apples in. It delivered the best flavour to the apples and creates a caramel with the brown sugar.
• Brown sugar – Brown sugar combined with the butter, creates a caramel for the apples.
• Cinnamon – I used ground cinnamon to add extra flavour to the caramelized apples.
• Water – A small amount of water may be needed if the apples start to go dry when you start to cook them.

Instructions

1. Prepare apples – Peel, core and cut the apples into about 1/4 inch thick slices. Set aside.
2. Melt butter – In a large skillet set over high heat, add the butter and bring it to a sizzle for about one minute.
3. Add apples to skillet – Add the apples to the butter and stir really well to coat all the apples in the melted butter. Reduce heat to medium, cover and leave to cook for about 5 minutes. Check on the apples to make sure they don’t stick. If they go dry, add the water. if they are not dry, don’t add the water.
4. Finish cooking apples – Remove the lid from the skillet. Add the brown sugar and cinnamon. Give a really good stir and leave to cook down and caramelize for about 10 to 15 minutes. The apples will be completely soft and golden in colour.
5. Serve – Remove apples from the heat and serve warm.

Recipe Tips

• Prep ahead – The apples can be prepared up to one day before hand. Just store them in a ziplock bag in the fridge. To prevent them from turning brown, squeeze over about 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and coat the apples.
• Evenly cut the apples – To ensure even cooking, make sure to cut the apples to about the same thickness in the slices. I cut mine to about 1/4 inch thickness.

Substitutions

• Apples – If you choose to use another fruit for this recipe, pears would be the best option. Alternatively, this recipe would work with peaches or plums.
• Spices – I only added cinnamon to this recipe. You could add a little nutmeg and even cloves for a very earthy and rich flavour.

Serving and Storage

• Serving – You can serve these to top Pancakes, Waffles or French Toast. They are also great served with ice cream, yogurt or whipped cream. You can even use them as pie filling or for Mini Apple Cheesecakes.
• Storage – Store these apples in an airtight glass jar in the fridge for up to a week. To reheat, simply add to a small saucepan over low heat for a few minutes.
