Instructions
- Wash apples well, pat dry in a kitchen towel.
- It’s a personal choice to peel the skin or leave the skin on. If you are feeding kids, it’s best to peel the skin and chop it into smaller pieces to make it easy for them to eat. I prefer to peel the skin.
- Cut 8 equal-sized slices from each apple.
- Add lemon juice and salt and toss well to coat. This will prevent apples from browning.
- Melt butter in a skillet, and add apple slices to the pan.
- Add all ingredients – brown sugar, cinnamon powder, nutmeg powder, ginger powder.
- Allow apple slices to cook for a minute. Cover with a lid and simmer on medium-low heat for about 4 minutes.
- Remove lid and toss well.
- Adding cornstarch is optional. Arrowroot powder can also be used in place of corn starch for thickening.
- Mix corn starch in 1 tablespoon water making sure no lumps are left. Pour it over sautéed apples.
- Alternatively, directly sprinkle corn starch over the apples. Stir and cook for 2 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken.
- Remove from heat.
- Note: at this stage, you can add flavors to your dish like vanilla extract or maple syrup.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Nutritional Info – Please keep in mind that the nutritional information provided is only a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on the products used.
- Do NOT cut apples too thin, or they will break. Cut thick slices or cubes and make sure all are equal-sized so they cook evenly. If cutting into slices, consider making 8 equal-sized slices from each apple.
- Do not stir too much or they will break.
- Do not overcook apples. You don’t want mushy apples. Cinnamon apples should be softened slightly with a crunch to them but not soggy and mushy. Cooking time for apples will vary depending on how large your apples are cut.
- Adding a thickening agent is completely optional. Add corn starch or arrowroot powder as thickening agents. This recipe calls for mixing cornstarch with water before adding it to the apples. Alternatively, you can just sprinkle starch directly over the pan.
- For adult-only servings, consider adding brandy to the recipe at the end. The combination of butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and brandy is deadly.
