Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 Apple (medium, any variety like Fuji or Granny Smith)
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Sugar (granulated or brown)
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 tablespoon Water
- Optional toppings (like whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or chopped nuts)
Instructions
Peel, core, and slice the apple into thin slices or bite-sized pieces.
Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt completely.
Add the apple slices to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly in the melted butter.
Sprinkle the sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt over the apples, stirring well to ensure even coating.
Pour in the water and let the apples cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the cinnamon apple sauté to a bowl or plate.
Serve warm, and if desired, top with whipped cream, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or a sprinkle of chopped nuts.
