How to Make Cinnamon Breakfast Apples

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  3. Peel, core, and chop 4 medium apples (about 4 cups) into bite-sized pieces.
  4. In a large oven-safe skillet or saucepan, gently toss the chopped apples with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  5. Add 1/4 cup water and 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet.
  6. Cover the skillet and cook over low to medium heat for 15-20 minutes, or until the apples are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring occasionally.
  7. Remove the lid for the last 5 minutes of cooking to allow for some of the liquid to evaporate and the apples to brown slightly.
  8. Serve warm over your favorite biscuits, alongside grits and eggs for a complete Southern breakfast experience.
