Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp) Apples
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cardamom
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
Instructions
Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges.
In a medium-sized skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it becomes foamy.
Add the apple slices to the skillet and sauté for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
Sprinkle the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground cardamom over the apples. Stir well to coat the apples evenly in the sugar and spices.
Allow the apples to cook for another 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar begins to caramelize and the apples turn golden and tender.
Stir in the vanilla extract and cook for an additional 1 minute. Remove the skillet from heat and set the apples aside to cool slightly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream and maple syrup until smooth and well combined.
To assemble the topping, spoon the warm caramelized apples over pancakes, waffles, or crepes. Drizzle generously with the sour cream mixture.
Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful fusion of sweet and tangy flavors.
