Makes One 5" Skillet Apple

INGREDIENTS

• 1 large Honeycrisp, Fuji or Gala apple
• 3-4 Tbsp butter
• 1 Tbsp dark brown sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 400º F
2. Peel and core your apple, then carefully slice into 1/16” slices with a knife or mandoline (if using a mandoline, make sure to use hand protection!).
3. Combine butter, sugar, and cinnamon in a small saucepan until melted. Coat each slice with melted butter mixture and stack in the skillet. Be sure to press down on the layers a few times throughout stacking and pour out the excess liquid back into your pan.
4. Once you’ve coated all the apple slices, move the skillet to a 400˚F oven for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, carefully pour out the excess liquid in your ramekin and return to the oven for 20-30 minutes.
5. For best results, let it cool completely before serving. Loosen your stack from the skillet with a butter knife, and serve upside down with ice cream and caramel drizzle.
