Pan-Fried Cinnamon Apple Slices
Thin apple slices sizzle in clarified butter until golden-crisp at the edges, then get a warm dusting of cinnamon. A quick rub of lemon keeps the fruit bright before it hits the pan.
Story
Apples cooking in butter will always smell like home. The slices soften inside while their edges turn golden and slightly crisp, catching just enough cinnamon to taste like autumn without losing their natural sweetness. A lemon rub beforehand keeps them looking fresh and bright. Serve them warm—they're lovely over vanilla ice cream, folded into oatmeal, or eaten straight from the plate while they're still hot.
