I love to make sautéed apples. With only 3-ingredients (2, if you don’t want to add the ground cinnamon), this recipe is easy to make and so tasty! The apples become soft and flavorful once they have cooked. I especially love serving the sautéed apples with pancakes, waffles, oatmeal, or as a side.

Quarter-Sized Vanilla (Cottage Cheese) Sheet Pan Pancakes with Sautéed Apples, served with pure maple syrup, Greek yogurt, blackberries and strawberries.

Lunchbox: Served with Maple Cinnamon Sprouted Steel Cut Oats topped with Sautéed Apples, Whole Milk, Chickpea Energy Bites, Blueberries and Sautéed Apples on the side.

List of Ingredients:

Apples ( I like to use Organic Gala Apples), unsalted butter, ground cinnamon (optional).

Step-By-Step Instructions:

Scrub clean the apples under cold water, peel the skin off, cut the ends off, cut the apple into quarters, and remove the core.

Cut the apples into same-sized small pieces (or into pieces/sizes you desire or need) and measure 2 cups.

Add butter to the saucepan and allow it to melt.

Once the butter has melted, add the diced apples and the ground cinnamon. Mix to coat the apples evenly with the ground cinnamon.

Cover with a lid and allow the apples to cook over medium-low heat (while stirring it a few times) for about 10 minutes

The apples are ready once they have softened and are fork tender (meaning a fork is easily able to pierce through the apple).

Once the apples have softened, remove the lid. If there is liquid in the pan (as shown here), increase the heat to medium and allow the apples to cook (with the lid off) for about 3-5 minutes or until most of the liquid has evaporated.

The liquid has evaporated.

Allow to cool and serve or transfer the sautéed apples to an airtight glass food container and keep it in the refrigerator.
