Stovetop Cinnamon Apples

5 from 3 votes
Soft and sweet apples with a cinnamon sauce- like apple pie in a pan!
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 medium or large apples chopped (I like about 1/2-inch pieces)
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons real maple syrup
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 2 teaspoons corn starch

Instructions

  • Heat a 12" skillet or saute pan to medum-low heat.  Add butter and melt.
  • Add apples to melted butter, increase heat to medium, and cook- stirring occasionally for 3-5 minutes until softened (they should still have a little bite to them).  If you have larger apple pieces, you can pop a lid on your pan for a few minutes to help steam them to soften a little quicker.
  • Add brown sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt.  Continue tocook, stirring often until desired apple softness is reached, about 3-5 minutes.  Longer if needed.
  • Combine water and cornstarch and mix until smooth, pour into skillet.
  • Cook for 2-3 more minutes until sauce starts to reduce and thicken.
  • Remove from heat and enjoy.
