Ingredients for Apples In Wine And Cinnamon Sauce

  • 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted margarine
  • Dry White Wine
  • Sliced Apples
  • Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

How to Make Apples In Wine And Cinnamon Sauce

  1. Melt the margarine in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Add the red wine and stir to combine.
  2. Add the sliced apples to the saucepan.
  3. Sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar evenly over the apples and wine mixture. Stir gently to coat.
  4. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples begin to soften.
  5. Stir in the lemon juice and vanilla extract.
  6. Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the apples are very tender and have broken down into a sauce-like consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  7. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed. Serve warm over your favorite dessert or enjoy it as is.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
