Instructions

Peel, core, and thinly slice 2 apples. Melt butter on low, turn heat to medium, and add cinnamon and sugar, then apples. Stir until the apples are coated and cook until slightly soft. While the apples cook, zest the lemon. Remove the apples from heat, add lemon zest, and stir.

Serve on French toast or vanilla ice cream. It’s even better with the addition of a little caramel!
