- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions
Peel, core, and slice the apples into 1/4-inch thick slices.

Add the apple slices to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.
Sprinkle the ground cinnamon and brown sugar over the apples, stirring well to coat evenly.

Continue cooking the apples for an additional 5-7 minutes or until they are tender and the sugar has dissolved into a syrupy sauce.
