Ingredients You’ll Need for Sautéed Honey Toffee Apples

• Apples – Choose varieties that are suitable for cooking, such as Granny Smith, Macintosh, Cortland, or Gala, as they retain their shape well. But don’t be afraid to experiment with other varieties, each one can bring a unique twist to your cocktail or dessert. You can use the softer types, but you will need to be attentive not to overcook them; they could quickly turn mushy. For the best flavour, use two or more varieties, such as sweet and tart ones.
• Butter – For that richness and gloss.
• Honey – Adds a touch of natural sweetness.
• Skor Toffee – Combined with butter and honey for a rich, buttery sauce, and also added for a crispy crunch
• Salt (optional) – A pinch to balance out the sweetness and enhance the flavours. I add it to almost all my desserts, but this depends on your preference.
• Cinnamon (optional) – Adds more flavour and an autumn vibe to this recipe.

How to Make These Easy Skillet Honey Toffee Apples

That’s easy, really. Simply combine the butter, honey, and toffee bits in a pan and simmer for a few minutes until the toffee has mostly melted. Add the chopped apples, salt, and cinnamon (if using), and sauté for about 7-10 minutes, until the apples are soft but not mushy. The cooking time depends on the variety of apples – softer apples may take less time. That’s it – you can enjoy this hearty, flavourful dessert. Sprinkle with more toffee for a lovely crunch.

Ingredients

• 3-4 (about 1 lb. or 450 g) juicy, crisp, and sweet and tart apples – choose those that are good for baking, i.e. Granny Smith, Macintosh, Cortland, or Gala.

• 2 tbsp. (30 g) butter

• 1 tbsp. (22 g) honey

• 1/4 cup (about 45 g) toffee bits
  I used Hershey’s Chipits Skor Toffee Bits

• a good pinch of cinnamon, optional

• a pinch of salt, optional

Directions

• Core and cube the apples into bite-sized chunks.
• Add the butter, honey, and toffee bits to a skillet, preferably heavy-bottomed.
  Melt over low-medium heat and allow to slowly bubble for 2-3 minutes, until the toffee has melted and incorporated.
• Add in the apples, as well as salt and cinnamon, if using.
  Slightly reduce the heat and simmer for 5-10 minutes, depending on the type of apples and the desired softness, gently stirring with a spatula occasionally. Keep in mind that once the heat if off, the apples will still keep cooking and getting softer from the residual heat – so do not overcook them.
• Turn the heat off and let the apples cool a bit. You can serve them hot, warm, or room temperature. Enjoy with a scoop of ice cream or/and sprinkled with extra toffee bits if desired or as a topping with your oatmeal or pancakes.
