  2. Melt the unsalted butter in a medium skillet over moderate heat.
  3. Add the apple slices, sugar, and grenadine syrup to the skillet.

  6. In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and cornstarch until smooth and free of lumps.
  7. Stir the cream and cornstarch mixture into the apples in the skillet.
  8. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring constantly, and cook for 1 minute until thickened.
  9. Remove the skillet from the heat.
