Caramelized Apple

CARAMELIZED APPLE

2-3 tart apples

2 T. brown sugar

1 T. butter (dairy or non-dairy)

Chop apples into small pieces. You leave the skins on which makes this the easiest way to deal with apples and makes for a delightful taste. Heat brown sugar and butter in a skillet over medium heat and stir until it all starts to bubble. Add your apples and stir to coat evenly. Stir occasionally. This way the water will have time to release and evaporate. Then the sugar and butter starts to get kind of stringy. This is a good thing. It’s how caramel is made.

The apples should be looking caramelized at about 12-15 minutes. At this point, transfer to a bowl to cool. You may choose to add these into a vanilla cupcake batter, fold at the very end into cinnamon pancakes or roll into cinnamon rolls before baking. Caramel apples get invited to most parties.
