Ingredients
- 3 Granny Smith Apples
- 5 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Start by preparing the apples. Peel the skin off each Granny Smith apple, then remove the core. Slice the apples into pieces that are between 1/4 and 1/2 inch thick.
- Place a skillet on the stove over medium heat. Add the butter to the pan and allow it to melt completely.
- Once the butter is melted, add the sliced apples to the skillet. Cover the pan with a lid and cook the apples for 6-8 minutes. Remember to stir the apples occasionally to prevent them from sticking or burning.
- After 6-8 minutes, check the apples for softness. It's time to add the flavorings when tender and easily pierced with a fork. Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon over the apples, then stir everything together until the apples are evenly coated.
- Continue cooking the apples for an additional 2-4 minutes, or until the sugar has melted and the apples are glazed in a thick, syrupy sauce.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and immediately serve the pan-fried apples while still warm. Enjoy!
