Instructions

Prepare the Apples

Thinly slice the apples using a mandoline slicer or sharp knife, keeping the skin on.

Cook the Apple Slices

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the apple slices and cook, turning occasionally, until they are lightly browned and tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Make the Buttery Honey Sauce

In a small saucepan, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Stir in the honey and milk. Bring to a simmer over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce slightly thickens, about 2-3 minutes.

Finish the Dish

Remove from heat and stir in the cinnamon. Arrange the cooked apple slices on a serving platter, overlapping slightly. Pour the warm honey sauce over the apple slices.

Serve

Serve immediately, warm, or chill for later. Optional: Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Best Buttery Cinnamon Apple Slices:

Apple Selection Matters: Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples hold their shape well during cooking and offer a delightful balance of sweetness and tartness.
Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Cook the apples in batches to ensure even browning and avoid steaming.
Spice it Up: Experiment with other spices like nutmeg, cardamom, or allspice for a unique flavor profile.
Presentation is Key: Arrange the apple slices attractively on the plate for an elegant dessert presentation. Consider using a decorative toothpick or skewer to create an appealing design.
