Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Apples (e.g., Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 cup Apple cider
- 0.25 cup Caramel sauce
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
Peel, core, and slice the apples into 1/4-inch thick slices.
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the sliced apples to the skillet and sprinkle them with ground cinnamon and brown sugar. Stir to coat evenly.
Cook the apples for 8-10 minutes, gently stirring occasionally, until they are tender but not mushy. Remove the skillet from heat and set the apples aside.
In a small saucepan, combine the apple cider and caramel sauce. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture is smooth and begins to simmer.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Gradually add the cornstarch mixture to the simmering cider sauce, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
Simmer the sauce for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
To serve, plate the warm cinnamon apples and drizzle generously with the caramel cider sauce. Optionally, garnish with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or crushed nuts for extra indulgence.
