   Peel and cut the apples into small bite-sized cubes. In a medium skillet, add 1 tablespoon of butter and heat over medium heat. Add the apple cubes and remaining tablespoon of cinnamon to the pan. Cook the apples for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and lightly caramelized. When finished, remove the pan from the heat and allow the apple filling to cool completely.
