Brandied Cinnamon Apples
These brandied cinnamon apples help me to get out of bed on my weekends off from work. Like the lady on the hot sauce commercial – “I put that S%#! on everything”.
Fantastic Adult Garnish
I put enough brandy in these apples so that you can taste it, and not feel like your wasted your time purchasing the brandy. Don’t worry, it’s not overpowering.

Brandied Cinnamon Apples (Cinnamon Apples with Brandy)
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Brandy liquor
- ¼ teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 red apples (I used Gala apples)
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon allspice
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Peel, slice, and core your apples. (I cut the apples in wedges.)
- Mix together 1 tablespoon of the Brandy with the cornstarch, and set aside.
- Next, in a medium saucepan, melt the butter.
- After the butter melts, add the brown sugar to the melted butter.
- Cook this butter/sugar mixture for a few seconds until the sugar completely dissolves (make sure to stir the mixture while the sugar melts).
- Then, mix in the brandy/cornstarch mixture, vanilla, nutmeg, allspice, and cinnamon into the sugar mixture.
- Next add your sliced apples to the saucepan, and cook for 7 to 10 minutes or until desired tenderness.
- Once apples have cooked remove the apples from heat. Add the last two tablespoons of Brandy to the apples and stir. Let the apples sit for about 2 minutes and serve.

- You can control the amount of brandy to make it more brandied or less.
- This is a great adult garnish for waffles, ice cream, pancakes, oatmeal, etc.

Thanks for stopping by! Welcome to the Savory Spicerack! In my kitchen, there is no such thing as a bland meal. Each of my creations are just the way food should be – packed with flavor and created with love.
I made a whole pot full of apples, a bag full. Goes great with pork chops. Using them as an extra for Thanksgiving. I just doubled up on everything & added a bit more brandy in the end, to keep the flavor a bit stronger. My mother used to make all kinds of things in a crock pot with brandy & keep adding more over time. It will last forever.
Great! Sounds delicious !
Phenomenal. Had these with pork chops and beans. Sounds like an odd combo but man it was good. Made with Sailor Jerry’s spiced rum instead of brandy, I’m sure it’ll be just as good with brandy.
Great to hear! Sounds delicious!
Do you think you these can be canned without the cornstarch?
Yes but the sauce may not be as thick. Thanks for stopping by!
Can you freeze this recipe?
I have not personally did any freezing to this recipe so I would not be sure.
I love this recipe.
It’s go to for winter stewed apples.
Thank you
Great to hear!
I am so glad that I’ve found a new way to enjoy apples – yum!
I fixed these with some pork chops. OMG the best cooked apples i have ever made. My family loved them. Thanks for the recipe. It will be used a LOT!
Yay! Glad you enjoyed!
I had lots of apples from my honey crisp tree this year so I made apple cinnamon spiced brandy by dicing up apples and soaking them with a cinnamon stick In a big jar of brandy for a few weeks. The brandy is delicious but I didn’t want to just throw all those nice drunken apples out so I made a big pot of this. Oh my goodness, this stuff is awesome. Maybe a little more brandy flavor because of the apples but so good!
Oh my I am happy you liked it and thanks for your tips! Happy cooking! Thanks for stopping by!
Could you share that recipe? I mean the soaking apples in brandy for a few weeks recipe/process. Is there anything special you do to prepare them, and where do you keep them while soaking? How long have you been doing this (was it passed down through generations)?
