Caramelized Apples are an easy recipe to make at home! All you need are 5 ingredients and about 15 minutes to make this decadent topping, which is perfect for pancakes, waffles, ice cream, cakes and more!
Melt 1 tablespoon unsalted butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the prepared 2 apples and cook until softened, about 5-6 minutes.
Add ¼ cup brown sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Cook for a few minutes until thick and bubbly. The longer you cook it, the thicker the syrup will become.
Measure in 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract. The sauce will bubble up and begin to thicken after a few minutes.
Serve and enjoy!

It shouldn’t be complicated to do.How to store: Let them cool completely. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat in the microwave.
