Cinnamon Apples recipe image

These cinnamon apples are a comforting, old-fashioned treat that captures the essence of autumn in every bite. Tart apples are gently poached in a fragrant syrup infused with cloves and red cinnamon drops, resulting in tender fruit with a vibrant, jewel-like color. The balance of sweet and tart flavors, along with the subtle warmth of the spices, makes this dish incredibly satisfying. It’s simple enough for a weeknight dessert yet elegant enough for holiday gatherings. Serve them warm as a standalone treat, alongside pork dishes as a sweet relish, or chilled over a crisp bed of lettuce for a refreshing contrast.

These cinnamon apples are a comforting, old-fashioned treat that captures the essence of autumn in every bite.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Peel and core the tart apples, leaving them whole if possible.
  2. Insert 2 or 3 whole cloves into the top of each apple.
  3. In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, red cinnamon drops, and water.
  4. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring until the sugar and drops are fully dissolved.
  5. Bring the syrup to a gentle boil and let it cook for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
  6. Gently add the prepared apples to the simmering syrup.
  7. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until apples are tender but still hold their shape.
  8. Occasionally baste the apples with the syrup from the pan to ensure even color and flavor.
  9. Remove apples carefully with a slotted spoon and serve warm or chilled.
  10. Serve as a dessert, a side with pork, or chilled on a bed of lettuce.
