Cardamom apples are a delightful and aromatic dessert or side dish that combines the sweetness of apples with the warm, rich flavors of cardamom and cinnamon. This easy-to-follow recipe uses simple ingredients to create a comforting and flavorful dish perfect for any occasion.
Instructions:
- Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges.
- Mince the garlic cloves finely.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic to the melted butter. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant and slightly golden but not burned.
- Add the apple wedges to the skillet. Stir to coat them evenly with the butter and garlic mixture.
- Cook the apples over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until they start to soften.
- Once the apples have softened, sprinkle in the sugar, ground cardamom, and ground cinnamon.
- Stir well to ensure the apples are evenly coated with the sugar and spices.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the sugar has caramelized to create a flavorful sauce.
- Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Once the apples are tender and look glossy with a rich caramelized sauce, remove the skillet from heat.
- Serve the cardamom apples warm as a side dish, a topping for pancakes or waffles, or even over vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert.
Tips:
- Choose apples that are firm and slightly tart for the best texture and flavor balance.
- Peel the apples for a smoother texture, or leave the skins on for added fiber and a rustic look.
- For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of lemon juice or a pinch of nutmeg to the mix.
- Serve the cardamom apples warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days and reheated gently before serving.
