Peel, core and cut the apples into about 1/4 inch thick slices. Set aside.
In a large skillet set over high heat, add the butter and bring it to a sizzle for about one minute.
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.
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.
Remove apples from the heat and serve warm.
