Ingredients
4 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup granulated white sugar
2 tbsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
Melt the butter in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat until it begins to froth.
Whisk the sugar and ground cinnamon into the butter until smooth and fully incorporated.
Add the sliced apples in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
Cook the apples for 5 to 8 minutes or until they reach your desired level of softness.
Remove the skillet from the heat and serve the glazed apples warm.
Notes
Slice apples uniformly for even cooking. Avoid overcrowding the pan to allow for proper caramelization. Cast iron is recommended for the best heat distribution. Adjust cinnamon quantity to personal preference.
