Cinnamon Apples

Cinnamon apples are a great topping for breakfast items like pancakes, yogurt, and oatmeal. They contain no added sugar and are even great to serve as a snack on their own!

Ingredients

  • 2 medium apples
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter

Instructions

  • Melt the butter in a pan on low heat.
  • Peel the apples and chop them into small cubes. You may leave the skin on if preferred.
  • Add the apples to the pan along with the cinnamon. Stir well until the apples are fully coated.
  • Cover the pan and cook on low heat for about 10 minutes, or until the apples fully soften. Stir the apples halfway through to prevent sticking.

Notes

  • My favorite type of apple to use for this recipe is Fuji apples. They are sweet and crisp and pair perfectly with cinnamon. If you cannot find Fuji apples, I would recommend another sweet apple variety such as Honeycrisp. 
  • You may also thinly slice the apples instead of chopping them into small squares. Thinly sliced apples will soften the same way.
