Sautéed Cinnamon Apples
My kids are super picky eaters; especially my little boy. Somedays… even weeks.. I struggle to find something he likes or will sit down and eat. I know its probably just a phase, but it is hard! When I do find something, I like to change it up a pit to offer more variety and introduce him to some fun new flavors.
My kids LOVE apples! Sliced or saucy- it is one of their favorite snacks. I knew they would go crazy for these, especially my son.
I wanted to try changing up the flavor and method of cooking a bit and the end result was fabulous! These apples were loved by everyone who tried them!
This is such an easy and delicious side dish! These apples are cooked to perfection with incredible flavor! I love the added flavors of lime and orange juice. It helps bring the apples to life.
If you want to change up the way you eat apples, or maybe add a fun new item to the table, give this one a try! It is fantastic!
- ¼ cup butter
- 4 large apples, peeled and sliced into ¼ inch thick slices (I use two Granny Smith and two Gala)
- 2 teaspoons lime juice
- ¼ cup orange juice
- ½ cup cold water
- 3 teaspoons cornstarch
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- In a large skillet melt butter over medium heat.
- Add lime juice and orange juice and apples. Sauté for about 5 to 7 minutes while stirring constantly until apples are almost tender.
- Dissolve cornstarch in water and slowly add to apples.
- Stir in brown sugar and cinnamon. Boil for 2 minutes stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and serve warm.
Enjoy!

Years ago we used to go to a wonderful buffet ... fabulous salads, an amazing carvery, wheels of cheese, fresh baked breads. .. oh so good. And these amazing sauteed apples served with the roasted meats. I think these may be the same !! Wahooo !!!

This would also make a fantastic desert as well. Wrap these in dough, like a hand pie, and drop them in the Fry-O-Lator. When they come out, hit'em with a little Turbinado or sanding sugar. It’d be outstanding.

I make something very similar.... however only I use lemon juice.... and then add one thinly sliced onion. I know it sounds kind of odd ........ but good gravy is it ever good !

I am going to make some tonight and try them over a nice slice of cheesecake! And I already know my favourite part will be the APPLES!!! Brilliant recipe!

I just made this recipe. Absolutely delicious! Easy to make too.

Will have to give this recipe a try. Here lately when. Fixing "fried" apples, I'd simmer the apples in apple juice with cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar. The family LOVES it.
Ashley
What if I make these and don't add the cornstarch? What happens?
Betty
What if I don't have the orange juice?

I love this recipe girl - sauteed apples are a summer favorite for us. Scheduled to share FB, pinned and yummed. Thanks for the great recipe.
Rick
Zested my orange and put that in with the juice, a little more cinnamon than called for.
This recipe is great!

These apples would be fabulous with a pork roast. I'm going to make them with a tender pork loin roast very soon. My hubs will be thrilled.

This was perfection!!!! I made it last night since I was in the mood for homemade ice cream topping and OH MY! I cooked the apple slices a little longer because I wanted them a little softer... My husband loved it!
Liz
The family loved it!! I used coconut sugar instead of sugar and it was fabulous!!
