Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 4 pieces apples, sliced Use apples that may be slightly bruised or aging.
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon This is the primary flavor; adjust according to taste.
  • 1 tablespoon water Optional, to prevent apples from drying out during cooking.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Slice the apples evenly to ensure they cook at the same pace.
Cooking
  1. In a skillet over medium heat, combine the sliced apples and cinnamon.
  2. Cook for approximately 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and glossy.
  3. If needed, add a tablespoon of water to help the apples soften without scorching.
  4. Stop cooking when the apples reach your desired texture—softer for spooning, firmer for slices.

Notes

Serve over yogurt, stir into oatmeal, or use as a topping for toast. Store leftovers in a container in the fridge for quick use during the week.
