Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges. Set aside.
Wash and slice the celery stalks diagonally into bite-sized pieces.
Dice the onion into small pieces.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the curry powder, ground cumin, and ground cinnamon. Cook for 30 seconds to release the spices' aroma.
Add the celery and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the apple slices to the skillet, along with the water, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let it cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the apples are tender but not mushy and the celery is slightly softened.
Remove the lid and stir. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Transfer the curried apples and celery to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy on its own.
