  • Peel and core the apples evenly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent the topping from becoming lumpy.
  • Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the apples: This will help them cook quickly and evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you're cooking a lot of apples, cook them in batches so that they have enough room to brown.

  • Add the cinnamon and sugar towards the end of cooking: This will help prevent them from burning.
  • Serve the apple topping warm: It's best when it's fresh out of the pan.
