Method
- 1
Peel, core, and slice the apples into even ¼-inch wedges so they cook at the same rate.
- 2
In a wide sauté pan or skillet, combine the brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, and a splash of apple cider over medium heat.
- 3
Stir periodically as the butter melts and the sugar dissolves, letting the mixture bubble gently for 2-3 minutes until it thickens into a smooth glaze.
- 4
Add the sliced apples to the pan, tossing to coat them evenly in the glaze.
- 5
Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, for 12-15 minutes until the apples are fork-tender and glossy.
- 6
Watch closely toward the end and do not overcook — once the apples begin to turn translucent at the edges they are close to falling apart, so pull them from the heat as soon as they are tender.
- 7
Serve warm as a topping for biscuits, pancakes, or French toast, spooning extra glaze from the pan over the top.
