These warm cinnamon spiced apples are soft, buttery, and bursting with cozy apple pie flavor! Made with fresh apples, cinnamon, butter, and a touch of sugar, this easy stovetop recipe transforms simple ingredients into a deliciously sweet, fragrant treat. Perfect as a quick dessert with whipped cream or as a topping for pancakes, waffles, oatmeal, and ice cream, it's like having homemade apple pie filling whenever you crave it!

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 4 medium apples (we like Pink Lady!)
• ⅓ cup pure cane sugar
• 3 tablespoons water
• Optional: A pinch of nutmeg or cardamom

For the Cornstarch Slurry

• 4 teaspoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

1. Core and slice the apples into evenly sized pieces.
2. In a pan over medium heat, melt the butter with the cinnamon until fragrant.
3. Add the sliced apples, sugar, and 3 tablespoons of water. Stir to coat the apples evenly.
4. Cover and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the apples are slightly softened.
5. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry.
6. Pour the slurry into the pan while stirring, and continue cooking until the apples are tender and the mixture thickens.
7. Allow the mixture to bubble gently for 1 minute, then remove it from the heat.
8. Let the apples cool slightly before serving. The mixture will continue to thicken as it cools.
9. Enjoy as-is with whipped cream or as a topping for oatmeal, pancakes, or desserts!

Notes

The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your apple slices and how soft you prefer them.

Serving note: Four medium apples should yield 2–2½ cups of cooked spiced apples, depending on how much they soften and reduce. We recommend 4 servings of ½ cup each.

Serving Tip: These warm cinnamon spiced apples are delicious on their own, especially with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream! You can also spoon them over pancakes, waffles, oatmeal, French toast, or yogurt for a cozy breakfast treat. For an extra-special dessert, use them as a quick homemade apple pie filling or layer them into a parfait!
