Notes
Recipe Notes:
- Use a mix of apple varieties (like Granny Smith + Honeycrisp) for a sweet-tart flavor balance.
- Slice apples evenly so they cook at the same rate and stay tender, not mushy.
- Add a pinch of nutmeg or cloves along with the cinnamon for extra fall flavor.
- Store leftovers in their juices in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Serve warm over ice cream, pancakes, or oatmeal for an easy, cozy upgrade.
