These cinnamon and brown sugar-coated stewed apples taste like the epitome of fall embodied in one recipe. These particular stewed apples are made with only five ingredients, each of which supplies a boatload of flavor.
You just need a few ingredients
The recipe makes four servings, but the ingredients can be easily halved or doubled if you need more or less.
Apples: You can use any variety of apples! Most readers use Granny Smith or Honey Crisp (I like to use both for a balance of tart and sweet!) Lemon Juice: A dash of lemon juice provides tang and prevents the apples from browning. Brown Sugar and Cinnamon: Brown sugar adds a sweet taste that pairs so well with the apples and cinnamon. You can replace the brown sugar with maple syrup, molasses, or a sugar-free brown sugar alternative. You can also add a touch of ground ginger to the spice mix. Unsalted Butter (optional): Butter gives the apples a decadent mouthfeel and flavor. Coconut oil also works in place of butter and keeps this recipe vegan.
How to make stewed apples
Creating stewed apples involves just one pan (love when that happens), and about 20 minutes of prep and cook time combined!
ways to use your stewed apples
Stewed apples are perfect for eating as-is but also work as a tasty topping.
Greek yogurt are even more delicious with stewed apples on top. Fluffy vanilla pancakes are basically begging to be topped with cinnamon apples. High-protein tofu waffles take on any flavor that’s added to them, so why not make that flavor apple cinnamon? Eggless French toast can complete a vegan breakfast when topped with stewed apples made in vegan butter or coconut oil.
