Easy Stewed Apples (Ready in 20 Minutes)
Description
Easy Stewed Apples combine bite-sized apple pieces cooked gently with butter, brown sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon to create a tender, flavorful preparation. The cooking softens the apples while preserving their shape, and the brown sugar enhances the natural sweetness. Lemon juice balances the dish with a touch of acidity, and cinnamon adds warmth and complexity.
This stewed apple mixture can be eaten by itself as a simple dessert or used as a complement to breakfast foods like oats or yogurt. The texture is soft but not mushy, making it pleasant to eat on its own or as an ingredient.
The recipe suggests it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to five days or frozen for longer storage. It can also be prepared in a slow cooker for convenience, cooking on low for two to three hours.
Ingredients
- 4 apple
- 2 Tbsp butter can sub dairy-free, 28 g, unsalted
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice 15 mL
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Chop: Cut apples evenly into bite-sized pieces, leaving or removing the peel (your preference!).
- Stew: Place apples and all remaining ingredients in a large pot. Set over medium heat and cover. Cook, stirring often, until apples are fork tender, about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Serve: Serve warm or cold by themselves, on ice cream, yogurt, or oats!
Notes
- Store stewed apples in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days.
- To freeze, spread apples on a sheet tray, flash-freeze, then transfer to a freezer-safe airtight container for up to three months.
- For slow cooker preparation, combine all ingredients and cook on low for two to three hours.
