Recipe Makes (Approximate): servings
Equipment
- Large skillet
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ¾ cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 large pinch salt (more or less to taste)
- 4 large Granny Smith apples (approximately 1 ¼ pounds; peeled or unpeeled, cored, sliced)
Instructions
- Place large skillet on stovetop over medium heat. Add 6 tablespoons unsalted butter to skillet and let butter melt completely, swirling and tilting pan occasionally to distribute butter across entire surface.
- Once butter has melted, add ¾ cup packed dark brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 large pinch salt to skillet. Whisk to incorporate, stirring constantly until brown sugar and salt have dissolved completely, approximately 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add slices of 4 large Granny Smith apples to skillet. Flip apple slices to coat fully in brown sugar cinnamon mixture.
- Let apples cook approximately 5 to 8 minutes or until apples just begin to break down, flipping apples as needed to ensure all slices cook completely.
- Transfer apples to serving bowls with vanilla ice cream or warm oatmeal, or enjoy apples on their own. Serve warm.
Recipe Notes
- Dark Brown Sugar: You can replace this with light brown sugar, coconut sugar, Brown Swerve, or maple syrup.
