Sautéed Apple Rings

Let's Cook

1. Step 1.

   Core and cut crosswise into ¼- to ½-inch slices: 2 large all-purpose apples, such as Golden Delicious or Rome Beauty

2. Step 2.

   Melt in a large skillet over medium heat: 2 tablespoons butter or bacon fat, or more if necessary

3. Step 3.

   Add a single layer of apple rings to the skillet. Cook until the bottoms are golden and beginning to caramelize, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook the apples until just tender when pierced with a fork. Set aside on a platter. Cook the remaining rings in batches, adding more butter or bacon fat to the skillet as needed. When all are done, sprinkle with: 1 to 3 tablespoons brown sugar, to taste; (Calvados, apple brandy, or applejack); Ground cinnamon
