Cinnamon Apple Sauté (For One!)

This sauté has some of the same flavorings of an apple crisp, but it's not nearly as heavy, and it doesn't leave me with a sense of guilt because it has less sugar and fat than traditional apple crisp. I love apple crisp - so I decided to create this dish: a lighter, easier version that I could cook for one (I'm a college student). Enjoy!
