Instructions
- Heat Butter: Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a pan over medium heat until melted and slightly bubbling.
- Sauté Apples: Add the diced apples to the pan and sauté them for 5 minutes, allowing them to soften and start to caramelize.

- For a vegan version, substitute butter with coconut oil or plant-based margarine.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less brown sugar depending on your preference.
- Serve with yogurt or oatmeal to create a more filling breakfast.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated before serving.
