Description
A quick and delicious Cinnamon Fried Apples recipe featuring tender apple pieces cooked in a buttery cinnamon-sugar sauce, perfect as a warm dessert or side dish.
Ingredients
Scale
Apples
- 4 cups chopped apples
- 1 lemon (for juicing on the sliced apples)
Cinnamon Sugar Mixture
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- ¼ cup packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare Apples: Peel and core the apples. Immediately squeeze lemon juice on the sliced apples to prevent browning. Chop them into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
- Melt Butter and Sugar: In a pan, melt the salted butter over low heat. Add the packed brown sugar, white sugar, and ground cinnamon. Stir continuously until the sugars dissolve and the mixture is smooth.
- Cook Apples: Add the chopped apples to the pan with the cinnamon sugar mixture. Stir to coat the apples evenly. Cook over medium-low heat for 12 to 14 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples soften but still hold their shape.
- Serve: Once the apples are tender and coated in the buttery cinnamon sauce, remove from heat and serve warm. Enjoy them as a comforting dessert or a sweet side dish.
Notes
- Choose firm apples like Granny Smith, Fuji, or Honeycrisp for best texture.
- Adjust the cinnamon quantity to your taste preference.
- For a richer flavor, add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of nutmeg.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream or over pancakes for a delightful treat.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
