Recipe: Caramelized Apples With Cinnamon and Cayenne

Cut the jalapeño into quarters and remove the seeds, using gloves if desired. For a spicier dish, thinly slice the jalapeño with the seeds intact. Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add apples and sprinkle with the cinnamon, cayenne, and salt. Cook 8 to 10 minutes, stirring often until the apples soften and begin to brown. Add a few tablespoons of water if the apples start to stick. Add the jalapeños, honey, and vinegar, cooking 1 minute more until the jalapeños are soft. Serve immediately.
