Delicious Skillet Apples

This makes a great dessert to make when apples are in season. I actually use this recipe in place of apple pie filling for my Easy 5-Minute Almost Cheesecake Dessert but it makes a great dessert topped with vanilla ice cream. The amounts listed will serve 3-4 people, but can easily be doubled if desired, adjust the brown sugar and cinnamon to taste.
