Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients:
- 1 large apple (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
Instructions
- Prepare the Apples: Peel and core the apple, then slice into rings about ¼ inch thick.
- Caramelize the Apples: In a wide skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon together, then add the apple rings, arranging them in a single layer. Cook for about 2–3 minutes on each side until the sugar mixture caramelizes and forms a golden glaze on the apples. Use a spatula to flip gently and cook evenly.
- Serve: Remove from heat and serve warm.
Notes
- Turn off the heat midway if the sugar begins to darken too quickly to avoid burning.
- For added depth, mix a pinch of nutmeg or drizzle with maple syrup.
