Chef's tips
Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith so the slices hold their shape. Cook low and slow so the sugar caramelizes into a syrup without burning.
Storage
Refrigerate up to 4 days.
Reheating
Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat.
Common mistakes to avoid
- •Using soft apples that easily turn into mush
- •Cooking over high heat and burning the sugar
