Notes
- For best results, slice the apples thinly and evenly so they cook at the same rate.
- You can use a mix of tart and sweet apples (like Granny Smith + Honeycrisp) for more depth of flavor.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
- Leftovers can be stored loosely covered at room temperature for 1 day, or in the fridge for up to 4 days.
