Sauteed Cider Apples

Tart Granny Smith apples simmered in spiced cider and butter. Excellent over pancakes or waffles, ice cream, or pork. Recipe adapted from Brunch at Bobby’s by Bobby Flay.

Ingredients

2 cups apple cider
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 cinnamon sticks
2 tablespoons butter
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled (optional), cored and sliced

Instructions

In a saucepan over medium-high heat, stir together the apple cider, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Bring the mixture to a boil, cooking about 10 minutes, or until the cider becomes syrupy and has reduced. Add the butter and apples to the pan, reduce heat to medium, and cook another 5-10 minutes until the apples are just tender and the mixture begins to caramelize. Serve hot over waffles, pancakes, ice cream, or pork.
