Instructions

Peel the apples, remove the core and cut them into wedges or thick slices.
Toss them in lemon juice so they don't turn brown.
Arrange the pieces in a steamer basket set over a pot of gently simmering water.
Cover and steam for 10 to 15 minutes, until the apples are tender but still hold their shape.
In a small pan, melt the butter, add the sugar and cinnamon, then stir for 1 minute.
Pour this mixture over the still-warm apples, stir gently and serve lukewarm.
