- Bring the mixture to a boil, then immediately reduce the heat to medium low. Simmer, stirring often, just until the apples have reached your desired level of tenderness.
- Remove the skillet from heat, and let the apples cool.
- Serve warm & enjoy!
Notes
- The apples don't have to be sliced, they can be cut into rings, chunks, etc.
- If you do want to slice the apples, I recommend using an apple slicer to core and slice the apples first. Then cut each slice in half.
- Don't worry if the apples don't appear very red at first. They will turn redder the longer it cools.
- You can serve these warm or chilled.
