Caramelized apples

These caramelized apples are easy to make and make a delicious topping or filling to many a breakfast or dessert.

📝 Ingredients

• 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

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Peel 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. 2Warm 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.
