- 3 red apples unpeeled and thinly sliced
- 3/4 cup white sugar divided

Instructions
- Melt the butter in a medium Dutch oven or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the apple slices and 1/2 cup of the sugar, and stir well.
- Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook on medium-low heat for 15 minutes, until the apples are softened. Stir occasionally to prevent the apples from sticking to the bottom.
- Add the remaining sugar and cinnamon, stir constantly, and cook for another 5 to 10 minutes over medium-high heat.
- Serve immediately with ice cream, or use as a topping for waffles or pancakes.

Notes

- Tips:
- Pick large red apples for the best sweet and tart taste.
- Cook the apples without peeling to keep them firm yet tender after frying. People also believe eating apples with the skin is more nutritional and better.
- Serve immediately with more cinnamon on top, if desired.
