Place the apple wedges into a cast iron pan.

Add 2 sticks of butter to the pan with the apples.

Sprinkle a generous amount of cinnamon and sugar over the apples and butter.

Layer the mixture well, allowing the butter to melt and mix with the cinnamon and sugar.

If you don't have a smoker, you can use an oven instead.

Place the pan on the smoker and cover it with foil to infuse pecan smoke flavor.

After 30 minutes, check the apples; they should be soft.

Add more brown sugar and a drizzle of honey to the apples.

Return the pan to the smoker for an additional 20 minutes until the apples are tender and flavorful.
