This is the best apple dessert I ever tasted, and it’s so fast and easy! It would taste good with ice cream, whipped cream, pudding, or yoghurt, but it’s wonderful on its own as well.
Here’s the recipe:
- 2 T butter
- 6 apples, cut into slices of fairly even thickness (1 cm works well)
- 1/3 to 1/2 cup brown sugar (or a bit less)
- 6 T lemon juice
- 2 T cinnamon
- 1 t vanilla (optional)
In a frying pan melt the butter, and then add the apples, sugar, and lemon juice. When the apples are slightly browned and the sugar is caramelized, sprinkle with cinnamon and optional vanilla. Enjoy!

Yum, this looks like a fun and easy recipe, I love cooked apple dishes. I may have to give this a try at lunch today 🙂 ~April
It’ll do for lunch…or even a fancy dinner if it’s dressed up with whipped cream and the apples are peeled.
Enjoy!
What a wonderful natural recipe! You could use a number of different fruits and I bet it would be yummy! Thanks for linking up at Healthy 2day Wednesdays!
That’s a good idea! I bet pears would be yummy.
Hello, Annie Kate,
I just read your post and will make this. I am wondering if it is an original British dessert. Does the book/link from James Barber say? We are having an English evening and are thinking of things to serve. It looks lovely and easy, too!
Again, I apologize for not having my linky up until 9AM. I see you tried, so I’d love it if you’d try again 🙂
You write about things my readers are interested in!
No, sorry, but the book doesn’t say. Actually, in the book the recipe is flambeed, so it would be great for a fancy evening. We don’t flambe, though, since I have a thing about fires and since I have girls with long hair.
Thanks for your wonderful compliment! 🙂
Oh,yum! Take sugar out of my diet & the world comes to an end. Chuckle!
TTFN ~
Have a beautiful day ~
Hugs,

Well… you can cut down on the sugar by eating the apples fresh, but this is great for a treat!
What a delicious-sounding dessert! We’ll have to try this. Thank you for sharing!
You’re welcome.
Thank you, thank you!! What a great help to make a simply yummy dessert! Glad you persevered! Blessings!
