Tips:
- Choose the right apples: For the best flavor and texture, use a variety of apples that are firm and tart, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
- 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.
- Cook the apples until they are tender but still hold their shape: You don't want them to become mushy.
- 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.
