Pescatarian Cinnamon Stewed Apples
Warm, fragrant, and deeply comforting, these cinnamon stewed apples are the kind of simple recipe that feels far more special than the effort involved. Sliced apples are gently simmered in butter, pure maple syrup, and Ceylon cinnamon until they turn perfectly tender and coated in a glossy, lightly spiced syrup. Ceylon cinnamon is worth seeking out here — it's softer and more floral than the common cassia variety, giving the dish a nuanced warmth rather than a sharp bite. A whisper of vanilla powder and a pinch of salt round everything out beautifully. Serve them warm over oatmeal, yogurt, pancakes, or ice cream, and they instantly elevate whatever they touch. They also keep well in the fridge for a couple of days, making them an easy make-ahead treat to have on hand throughout the week.
