We loved this! It was very simple to make. I didn't measure the cinnamon when I added it, but I'll add more next time. The sauce really is delicious and I was surprised to find it was almost the consistency of corn syrup!

This is an easy and fast recipe to do. It's perfect when we're in need for a dessert not too complicated. I used 5 apples. Maybe used McIntosh cause some of them turned into a compote. Be sure to use firm apple if you want them to keep in shape. I used 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Thanks Kittencal :) Made for 123 hit wonders.

We liked them warm with ice cream. They are a good emergency quick dessert, very easy to make. I have 6 apple trees, but I used the jonathan and red delicious in this recipe.

These apples were delicious! I sliced then instead of cutting them in half so I could top DivineMom's German Pancake #16659. I will be making these again. Thanks Kittencal Bass for such a tasty recipe.
