Ingredients
  

  • 4 apples peeled and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon ground
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons honey or sugar

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Core and peel the apples, then slice them into even pieces for uniform cooking.
  2. Add sliced apples to a saucepan, then pour in water and sprinkle with ground cinnamon.
  3. Warm the mixture over medium heat, bringing it to a gentle simmer that releases aroma and causes apples to soften.
  4. Stir in honey, allowing it to dissolve and thicken the syrup as the apples continue to cook.
  5. Cook until the apples are tender and the liquid has slightly reduced to a syrupy consistency, about 15 minutes.
  6. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes, enhancing the aroma and allowing flavors to meld.

Notes

Serve warm as a cozy topping for oatmeal, pancakes, or enjoy on its own as a sweet, healthy dessert.
