– 1/4 cup unsalted butter
– 3 red apples, unpeeled and thinly sliced
– 3/4 cup white sugar, divided
– 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– Vanilla ice cream, for serving
Bring to a simmer, cover and cook on medium-low heat for 15 minutes until the apples are softened. Stir occasionally to prevent the apples from sticking to the bottom.
