Ingredients
Scale
½ cup butter
½ cup white sugar (or swap half for brown sugar for a deeper flavor)
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon (or less, to taste)
4 Granny Smith apples – peeled, cored, and sliced
Instructions
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Stir in the sugar and cinnamon until it all melts together into a sweet, cinnamony sauce.
- Toss in the sliced apples and stir to coat them well.
- Cook for 5 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft but still hold their shape.
- Serve warm, and if you’re feelin’ extra cozy, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or spoon it over pancakes.
Notes
- Wanna lighten it up? Use coconut oil and a drizzle of maple syrup instead of butter and sugar.
- If you’ve got leftovers, pop ‘em in the fridge and reheat in a skillet (or the microwave, no shame in that).
- Toss in a pinch of nutmeg for a little holiday flair.
