Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 apples (preferably firm varieties like Gala or Fuji)
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup water
- optional optional toppings (e.g., chopped almonds or whipped cream)
Instructions
Peel and core the apples, then slice them into quarters or eighths, depending on your preference for size.
In a medium-sized skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the granulated sugar and stir until it begins to dissolve.
Add water, honey, and lemon juice to the pan. Stir to combine, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Carefully place the apple slices into the pan, arranging them in a single layer if possible. Sprinkle the ground cinnamon evenly over the apples.
Cover the pan and let the apples cook over low heat for about 15-20 minutes, gently flipping them halfway through. Cook until they are tender but not mushy.
Remove the cover and let the sauce reduce for an additional 5 minutes, until it thickens to a light syrup consistency and coats the apples.
Transfer the cooked apples to a serving dish. Spoon the sauce from the pan over the apples for added flavor.
Let the dish cool slightly before serving. Optionally, garnish with chopped almonds, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of additional cinnamon.
