Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp (25 mL) unsalted butter
  • 6 Ontario Apples, peeled (if desired) and cut into thin slices
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) ground ginger
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) cornstarch

In large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add apples, cinnamon and ginger; stir until apples begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Stir cornstarch into maple syrup until dissolved. Add to apple mixture, stirring constantly until boiling and thickened, about 2 minutes.
