Caramelized Cinnamon Apples are an easy way to elevate any apple cinnamon flavored food. We love to top our egg free Apple Cinnamon Waffles or my eggless Apple Cinnamon Pancakes with them!
This apple topping would also be excellent on French Toast (or my Cinnamon French Toast Muffins), or cheesecake. Or, like my 3 year old, you can simply enjoy them with a fork!

Sweet and buttery caramelized cinnamon apples are surprisingly easy to make. Besides apples, the only ingredients you’ll need are butter or margarine, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
You’ll steam the apples in a frying pan with the butter until they’re your desired softness. Then add the brown sugar and cinnamon, and cook another minute or two until they’re perfectly soft and golden.

These simple caramelized cinnamon apples can also be made dairy free and vegan – simply substitute dairy free margarine for the butter.
Caramelized Cinnamon Apples
Ingredients
- 2 apples
- 2 Tbsp butter or margarine
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Wash and peel your apples. Dice into 1/2 inch cubes.
- Melt butter or margarine in a frying pan over medium heat.
- Add apples and cover, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes (or until they reach desired tenderness).
- Stir in brown sugar and cinnamon until apples are evenly coated. Cook another minute or two, stirring frequently, until the brown sugar mixture has thickened.
- Use to top your favorite apple cinnamon flavored foods or, like my 3 year old, enjoy with a fork! (Use caution when serving to children – apples will remain VERY hot for several minutes after cooking).
I made the recipe. OMG, my family loved them, especially my 11 year old granddaughter. ❤️❤️❤️
I’m so glad you enjoyed them! Thank you!
