Skillet Cinnamon Apples
Skillet Cinnamon Apples offers a warm, tender apple side dish coated in brown sugar and cinnamon. Cooking peeled and chopped apples with butter and a touch of water softens them without becoming mushy. The lemon juice prevents browning and adds brightness, while vanilla and a pinch of salt deepen the flavor. This versatile dish complements breakfasts like oatmeal or toast and pairs well with pork or chicken for a subtly sweet contrast.
