  • Remove the core with a small knife or spoon
  • (If you have an apple corer remove the apple core before cutting the apples)
  • Do not place the apples in water as you want them to be as dry as possible

  • Cover the butter with the sugar
  • Place the apple halves evenly around the pan, in a spiral or radiating rings is best

  • As the apples cook the butter and sugar will begin to bubble
  • Slowly the sugar will start to turn golden brown
