Ingredients

1 tablespoon light butter ((I use Land O’Lakes light butter spread with canola oil))
1 tablespoon + ⅓ cup water
4 medium to large apples (peeled and sliced to ¼” - ½” thick)
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
¾ teaspoon cinnamon

Cuisine

American

Steps

Place the butter and a tablespoon of the water into a sauté pan and bring over medium heat until butter is melted. Add the sliced apples and stir to coat with the butter. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally for 4-5 minutes to soften the apples. In a small bowl, stir together the cornstarch and water until combined. Add this mixture to the apples along with the brown sugar and cinnamon. Stir until well combined. Cover the pan and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until the apples are tender and the sauce is thickened.

Just wanted to pop in here and say, stop eating canola oil. You should be eating grass fed high fat butter. Canola oil is horrible for your health. Keep things pure and natural. Read Wise Traditions.

i love this so much, as a person who usually hates apple flavored things. so so sweet and so so good.. also i personally serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and it makes it a million times better

These were great! I didn't have the light butter, so I used salted, and it worked out great. I also added teeny tiny bit of maple extract (like 3 drops), and wow! It was the perfect touch.

OMG this is the best stewed apples!! I have made stewed apples in the past but never like these---so caramel tasting. It coats the apples so well. I will definitely make again!!
