Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 medium (sliced into thin rings) yellow onion
- 3 medium (cored and sliced into thin wedges) apples (suggested: Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet and sauté, stirring occasionally, for about 6-8 minutes or until they become soft and start to caramelize.
Increase the heat slightly and add the apple slices to the skillet with the onions.
Sprinkle the brown sugar and ground cinnamon evenly over the apples and onions. Stir everything together to coat the mixture in the sugar and spices.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir gently to combine, ensuring the apples and onions are evenly seasoned.
Reduce the heat to medium and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender but still hold their shape.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the fried apples and onions to a serving dish. Serve warm as a side dish or topping.
