Sauteed Cinnamon Apples Recipe
This quick sauteed cinnamon apples recipe tastes just like fresh apple pie filling. It's so simple to make with just a pot bubbling away on the stove, and it's such a versatile recipe since it's perfect as a topping for breakfast or dessert, a side with dinner, or even topped with whipped cream as a quick snack.
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 lbs Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced 1/4”-thick (4 large or 6 medium apples)
- 1/3 cup water
- 2 tsp corn starch
- 1/4 cup honey, or brown sugar, or added to taste (use 2 Tbsp for sweeter apples)
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Place butter in a deep sauté pan or dutch oven and melt over medium heat.
- Stir in sliced apples, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally until softened (6-8 minutes).
- In a separate bowl, stir together 1/3 cup cold water and cornstarch until dissolved into a slurry.
- Add the cornstarch slurry to the apples along with honey and cinnamon.
- Stir to combine then return to a light boil and continue to simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce is thickened and apples are tender.
Notes
*Any crisp variety of apples will work, so you can use what you have on hand, but you may need to adjust the amount of honey for sweeter varieties.
*Store apples in an airtight container or mason jar in the fridge for up to 5 days. Free in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
