Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to caramelize pie apples in a skillet? Very fast and easy! For the filling, it is better to choose whole, strong and undamaged apples, sweet and sour, with dense pulp, not loose. Loose apples quickly boil and lose their shape, reaching the state of puree.

Step 2

Step 2
Peel the apples from seeds and peel and cut into slices. To prevent apples from browning quickly, you can place them in a bowl of water and lemon juice (or citric acid).

Step 3

Step 3
Heat the pan over low heat. Add a third of the sugar. Read about how to choose the perfect frying pan in a separate article, link at the end of the recipe.

Step 4

Step 4
Wait until the sugar melts. This takes 5-8 minutes. At the same time, you cannot put metal spoons into the pan, only wooden or silicone ones — the caramel will not stick to them. Add another third of the sugar and melt as well. Add the remaining sugar and wait until it melts. If you wish, you can add a pinch of salt at the end to create salted caramel.

Step 5

Step 5
Add butter and stir until completely dissolved.

Step 6

Step 6
Add chopped apples and cinnamon.

Step 7

Step 7
Stirring gently, fry everything together for 3-5 minutes until the apples are translucent. Make sure the apples donʼt get overcooked. Remove the pan from the heat.

Step 8

Step 8
If at first the caramel is fluid, then as it cools it thickens more and more. Now you can use apples as a filling for pie, cakes, pies, strudels or other baked goods. And also as a stand-alone dessert with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Bon appetit!
