This is a really easy topping for pancakes or ice cream. It is akin to apple pie in a pan.
Wash, peel, and cut 2 large apples into quarters, remove the seeds and slice them into small pieces.
Preheat a frying pan and then put about 2 T of butter into it. As soon as the butter melts, add the apples.
Keeping the heat on low, use a spatula to turn the apples so they are all coated with butter and getting heated.
When they start getting soft, add about ¼ c. brown sugar, 1 t. cinnamon, and exactly 1 t. of flour (you don’t need much flour, that is it).
Continue cooking and stirring as needed. It will need to cook for at least half an hour. After that, taste it to be sure the apple pieces are soft (not crispy). If it isn’t sweet enough for your taste, you can add more sugar, but you will need to cook it a bit longer.
You may want to heat it up again right before serving it.
If you are making bacon, pancakes, and fried apples all at once, make the apples first, then the bacon and then, while the bacon is cooking, make the pancakes.
