Stovetop Cinnamon Apple Delight

Ingredients

- 4 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. Prep the Apples: Start by peeling, coring, and slicing the apples into 1/4-inch thick slices for even cooking. Set these aside in a bowl.

2. Prepare the Mixture: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the lemon juice and water. Stir well to mix the ingredients. This lemon water will prevent the apples from browning too quickly.

3. Add Apples to Stove: Place a large, non-stick skillet on the stove over medium heat. Add the apple slices to the skillet, spreading them out evenly.

4. Cook the Apples: Pour the lemon juice and water mixture over the apples in the skillet. Sprinkle the ground cinnamon evenly across the apple slices.

5. Simmer: Allow the apples to simmer gently. Cover the skillet with a lid to retain steam and moisture. Stir the apples occasionally to ensure even cooking, for about 15 minutes or until the apples are tender and infused with the cinnamon aroma.

6. Check Doneness: Test the apples with a fork—they should be tender but not mushy, offering a slight resistance that indicates they are perfectly cooked.

7. Serve: Remove the skillet from the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly. Serve the cinnamon apple delight warm in small bowls, perfect as a snack or a complement to other dishes.
