Ingredients

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

1 tablespoon sugar

2 plantains (sweet), cut into 1/3-inch slices

1/3 cup apple juice

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Preparation

In a 9-inch skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sugar and cook, stirring, until the syrup is a light caramel color, about 2 minutes.

Add the plantains, tossing to coat, and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Add the apple juice and boil 1 minute, or until thickened slightly. Stir in the cinnamon and remove from the heat.

Divide the plantains among 4 dessert plates and spoon the juices over each.
