Apples are not only a nutritious fruit but also extremely versatile in the kitchen. From pies and crumbles to applesauce and apple butter, the possibilities are endless. In this blog post, we will teach you how to cook apples in a saucepan – a quick and easy method that results in a delicious treat. Let’s get started!

What You’ll Need

  • 4-6 fresh apples (any variety you prefer)
  • 1 tablespoon of butter
  • 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons of brown sugar (optional)
  • A pinch of salt
  • Water

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Begin by peeling, coring, and slicing the apples. You can choose to leave the peel on for added texture and nutrition if you prefer.

2. Heat a saucepan over medium heat and melt the butter.

3. Add the sliced apples to the saucepan.

4. Sprinkle the cinnamon, brown sugar (if using), and a pinch of salt over the apples. Mix well to coat them evenly.

5. Add a small amount of water to the saucepan, about 1/4 cup. This will help create steam and prevent the apples from sticking to the pan.

6. Cover the saucepan with a lid and let the apples cook for approximately 10-15 minutes, or until they become tender. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

7. Once the apples are soft and juicy, remove the saucepan from heat.

8. You can serve the cooked apples as they are, or use them as a topping for oatmeal, pancakes, or ice cream. Enjoy!

Variations and Serving Ideas

Here are a few ways you can customize your cooked apples:

  • Add a squeeze of lemon juice for a tangy flavor.
  • Sprinkle chopped nuts on top for a crunchy texture.
  • Replace the cinnamon with pumpkin spice for a fall twist.
  • Top with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent treat.

Cooked apples can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. They also freeze well, so you can make a large batch and save it for later use.

Next time you have some fresh apples on hand, try cooking them in a saucepan using this simple method. Within minutes, you’ll have a warm and delicious treat that can be enjoyed on its own or added to various dishes. Get creative and experiment with different flavors – the possibilities are endless!
