Cinnamon Apples
Description
Cinnamon Apples combines peeled and cored apples simmered gently with water and apple cider vinegar to soften and infuse the fruit. Adding cinnamon, ground ginger, nutmeg, and a pinch of sea salt after the initial simmer creates a warm spiced aroma and depth of flavor. The simmering thickens the natural juices into a syrupy coating that clings to tender apple pieces, offering a balance between sweetness and a slight tang from the vinegar. This preparation is stovetop-based, requiring occasional stirring to prevent burning during its 15-minute cook time.
The resulting spiced apples work well as a warm side dish, topping for pancakes or oatmeal, or simple dessert. Their soft texture and mildly spicy flavor let them complement both sweet and savory dishes without overpowering.
These apples can be served freshly warm or refrigerated for up to four days, retaining their flavor and texture. Stir before serving if chilled.
Ingredients
- 5 apple peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch pieces

- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Combine the apples, water, and vinegar in a saucepan, cover, and simmer over very low heat, stirring occasionally to make sure the apples don’t burn on the bottom of the pan, for 15 minutes.
- Uncover, stir, and add the cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt and stir again. The apples should be tender and the juices should be thick.
