Sweet tender cinnamon apples make a warm and delicious dessert, snack, or topping. Use them to add flavor and texture to yogurt, ice cream and puddings. They also make a wonderful accompaniment to breakfast pancakes, waffles, French toast and hot cereals.

Ingredients
For Apples:
- 6 Cups (About 5 Apples, peeled, cut into quarters and sliced)
- 2 teaspoon Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Apple Pie Spice*
- 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium low heat. Heat the olive oil in the pan until it begins to shimmer. Then add the apples, sprinkle with the salt and toss quickly. Cover and let the apples cook for about 2-3 minutes. Remove the cover and add the brown sugar and spices. Mix throughly and replace the cover.
Continue to cook the apples for another 5-8 minutes. Until they reach a nice golden color, and begin to soften, yet still hold their shape. If you prefer a softer, creamier apple more like an apple sauce, reduce the heat to simmer and continue to cook until they reach your desired consistency. It may be necessary to add a tablespoon or two of water, to keep them from burning.
Remove from heat and serve. Enjoy them as they are for dessert. Equally, they are delicious served over oatmeal, cream of wheat, and ice cream. However, one of my favorite uses for these apples are to serve them with pancakes or layered in my Cinnamon Apple Strata.
WWSP: 1/2 Cup Serving is 1 point
Notes
*About the spices: If you have Apple Pie Spice and Cinnamon, use 1 teaspoon of Apple Pie Spice with a 1/2 teaspoon of Cinnamon. If you only have cinnamon, the apple pie spice can be replaced with an additional teaspoon of cinnamon..
