These Cinnamon Apples taste like a warm apple pie, but they come together in 15 minutes on the stovetop! This cinnamon apples recipe makes a perfect breakfast, pancake topper, snack, or light dessert.

Ingredients 

  • 3 Apples Chopped
  • 2 Tbsp Water
  • 1 Tbsp Butter
  • 1 Tbsp Maple Syrup
  • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract

Equipment

  • Stovetop
  • Medium Sauté Pan

Instructions

  • Cut apples into same-sized pieces (about ½-1” cubes).
  • Put apples pieces into a skillet with 2 TBS water. Cover the pan and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples become slightly soft and water is absorbed.
  • Add 1 TBS of butter to the skillet. Stir apples and oil together until all the apples are coated. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring every minute or so, until the apples become soft (you may need to cover them for the last 2 minutes).
  • Add Maple syrup, cinnamon, salt and vanilla. Stir until well mixed.
  • Cook for about 5 more minutes, stirring every minute until the apples reach your desired softness.
  • Remove from heat and serve.
