Honey Glazed Apple Slices
A simple, warm treat of caramelized apple slices drizzled with honey, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 medium medium apples (any sweet variety works, such as Fuji or Honeycrisp) Feel free to substitute or mix with Granny Smith for a tangy contrast.
- 1/4 cup honey (preferably local) You can swap for maple syrup for a unique flavor twist.
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon This spice is essential for nostalgia; crank it up during the holidays!
- 2 tablespoons butter (unsalted) Adds richness; coconut oil is a suitable dairy-free alternative.
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice Balances sweetness and keeps the apples fresh-looking; you can use apple cider vinegar if needed.
- a pinch salt Enhances all those beautiful flavors.
Instructions
Preparation
- Wash the apples thoroughly. Peel them if preferred, then slice them into thin wedges, about 1/4 inch thick.
Cooking
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the butter and let it melt and bubble gently.
- Once the butter is melted, add the sliced apples, tossing gently to coat them with butter.
- Drizzle honey and lemon juice over the apples, allowing the mixture to thicken into a syrupy glaze.
- Add cinnamon and a pinch of salt, stirring until apples are well coated.
- Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the apples become tender and golden brown.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately.
Notes
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently with a splash of water to restore the syrupy consistency.
