By Audrey Hart

Growing up in Seattle, harvest season meant one thing: Apples. Whether tart or juicy, the always did the trick. For calories, Thanksgiving is around the corner and all diets are on hold.

Enjoy!

These quick and easy warm Stovetop Cinnamon Apples are perfectly sweet, delicious, and so versatile. I love how fast these come together, and there are so many ways to serve them! These tasty warm apples work great on their own as a side dish, snack or dessert. They taste decadent when topped with a dollop of whipped cream or served over ice cream. They take breakfast up a notch when used as a topping for yogurt, oatmeal, waffles, or pancakes. There are so many possibilities!

MY LATEST VIDEOS

Not only can these Stovetop Cinnamon Apples be used in a variety of ways, they also just taste and smell amazing. My three-year-old can be resistant to trying new things, but the first time I made these she gobbled them right up! The little bit of light butter, the cinnamon, and the brown sugar give these apples rich flavor. As you cook them, a sauce forms around the apples giving them the consistency and flavor of warm apple pie filling. Apple pie filling definitely needs to be part of my every day life on a more regular basis, so if you feel the same way, this recipe is for you! Plus, a serving of these Stovetop Cinnamon Apples is just 150 calories or 3 WW Points (a serving is 6 WW Points if following the diabetic WW Plan).

Serving Size

You’ll notice I said the serving size for these apples is “around” ½ cup. I’m not trying to be vague, it just really depends on the size of the apples you use! I suggest using medium to large apples for this recipe, but obviously apple sizes vary, so your servings may be slightly bigger or smaller accordingly.

What types of apples should be used?

Honestly, I think most apple types will work well in this recipe, as long as they come in a medium-to-large size. If you use a variety with smaller sized apples, you may want to use 5 apples instead of four in the recipe (I do this with Empires). You can change up the flavors a bit by using a combination of sweet and tart apples, or just focusing on one or the other. Some varieties I have used or think would work well are:
