Easy Skillet Caramel Apples are a must this fall. Great as pancake toppings, crepe filling or and addition to your morning oatmeal.
If you are like me, you have tons of apples sitting on your counters, filling the fruit bowls. If you are like me, you love apples and caramel together.
If you are a fan of oatmeal in the morning, you also know how quickly it can get boring. Season fruit to the rescue! Always!
During summer, you add fresh berries or sliced peaches. Fabulous! During winter you add nuts and dried fruit, but we are not there yet. Let's enjoy the fabulous fall season and use apples and cinnamon to jazz up our boring breakfasts.
And not only breakfasts! Pancakes, waffles or crepes anyone? 🙂
This recipe is so ridiculously easy but a definite must to make this season. Just a simple way to use apples in your breakfast and desserts. All you have to do, is cook them with butter and cinnamon until soft and then bathe them for few minutes in brown sugar and cream until they turn into glorious skillet caramel apples. I also chop them and saute with brown sugar and spices and use as a layer in my Cinnamon Apple Cake. So tasty!
