Ingredients

Scale

½ cup butter

½ cup white sugar (or mix of white and brown sugar)

2 tablespoons ground cinnamon (or to taste)

4 Granny Smith apples u2013 peeled, cored, and sliced

Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add sugar and cinnamon; stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.

Notes

  • Try adding a dash of nutmeg or clove if you're feeling festive.
  • Swap half the butter for coconut oil if you're leanin' toward a healthy twist.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a pan or the microwave.
  • Delicious with pancakes, pork chops, or spooned right over vanilla ice cream. (No judgment.)
