Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 medium medium apples Choose juicy varieties like Fuji or Honeycrisp.
  • 1 tsp lemon juice Fresh lemon juice to prevent browning.
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar For rich sweetness and caramelization.
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon Adjust to taste preference.
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter Provides richness and texture.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Peel the apples and remove the core. Cut them into small slices or dice and place them in a mixing bowl.
  2. Drizzle lemon juice over the apples and toss gently to coat. Add cinnamon and brown sugar, then mix until well combined.
Cooking
  1. Heat the butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat until melted.
  2. Add the coated apples to the skillet, stirring to ensure they're coated in butter and spread in a single layer.
  3. Cook the apples for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and a thick caramel-like syrup forms.
Serving
  1. Use the caramelized apples immediately or cool and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

Experiment with different apple varieties and try adding pinch of nutmeg or vanilla extract for extra flavor. Serve over pancakes, yogurt, or ice cream.
