Caramelized apples – how to use them
Caramelized apples are an incredibly versatile recipe in the sense that they can be added to so many dishes! Let’s look at some of the ways you can use stir-fried apples in butter, lemon juice, cinnamon, brown sugar and honey:
- Breakfast. Add your favorite waffles, pancakes or french toast with caramelized apples to take your breakfast to the next level. The apples can be prepared up to two days in advance. It’s also a great way to dress up your holiday breakfast for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Eve!
- yogurt.Add them as a icing to all types of regular yogurt or Greek yogurt.
- Dessert. Stir-fried apples can be used as a filling or as an addition to crepes. Take a look at these homemade crepes with a creamy ricotta cheese filling and caramelized apples.
- an ice cream. Just picture a cold ice cream icing with hot and sizzling sliced apples. You can dress up any simple ice cream that way!
- Meats. Caramelized apples are a great addition to burnt or grilled meats, as are these pork chops with apples.
Component
- Apples. I used 2 green apples (Granny Smith) and 2 red apples (Gala or Fuji). This is done for show purposes because the apples are not peeled, and the green and red colors definitely add life! You can use any other variety of apples. The key here is the texture. The apples should have a firm texture and not be soft.
- Brown sugar. Use only 3 or 4 tablespoons. It is best to use dark brown sugar.
- cinnamon. You only need a teaspoon of cinnamon to get the taste. Feel free to add more if you want!
- lemon juice. Add one tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice to chopped apples.
- butter. I like to use salty butter to saute the apples to add just a touch of saltiness.
- honey. Add the honey right at the end, out of the heat, to sizzle the apples and caramelize them even more.
- Fresh thyme. Fresh chopped thyme adds a salty flavor. You can also use fresh oregano.
How to make caramelized apples (step by step pictures)
Prepare the apples. I used 4 apples (2 red and 2 green for show purposes). Birch the apples and slice each lengthwise.
Place sliced apples in a large bowl, add brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice and stir. Let the apples sit for about 15 minutes to release juices.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons butter over high heat. Add sliced apples (no juice at the bottom of the pan) cook on high heat for about 3 or 5 minutes, checking occasionally. After 3 or 5 minutes, turn sliced apples to the other side and let them simmer over medium-high heat for another 3 or 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Depending on the degree of heat of your stove, it may take you more or less time to cook apples, the key is to brown them or even get a slightly “burnt” effect. But do not overdo it.
Immediately after removing the pan with roasted sliced apples from the heat, immediately add honey – this will make the apples sizzle and caramelize them nicely, out of the heat.
Tips and recipe notes
- Use both green and red apples.This makes sauteed apples look much more appealing. I used gala apples for red and granny Smith for green.

- Do not peel them. Keep the peels of the apples. It creates a beautiful presentation and preserves the fiber in your food! Also, because you caramelize the apples, the peel softens and tastes amazing!
- Use fresh herbs.Top with boiled apples with fresh herbs, such as thyme or oregano to add some salty flavor. Fresh herbs also look beautiful.
