Maçãs caramelizadas

Ingredientes

• 2 apples (medium, see notes)
• 1 tsp lemon juice (approximately, or a little more/less to taste)
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon (or a little more, to taste)
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   Peel and core the apple and cut into small slices or a relatively small dice. Add the lemon juice to the bowl, toss gently, then add the cinnamon and brown sugar. Mix everything together so the apples are evenly coated.

2. 2

   Warm the butter over a medium-low heat in a medium skillet/frying pan and add the apples. Stir to coat the apples in the butter and spread out in an even layer. Cook for around 6 - 8 minutes, stirring now and then so all of the slices cook evenly. They are done when the apples are gently soft and the liquid has reduced to a thicker more caramel-like consistency. Use immediately or allow to cool and transfer to a jar or container and store in fridge. Stir before using - can serve warm or chilled.
