Poached in sweetened wine, warm prune sauce makes an elegant topping. Drizzle it over Vanilla Minute Mug Cake, Overnight Oats or ice cream. If you prefer to skip the alcohol, use an equal amount of spiced apple cider instead.
Place all ingredients in a saucepan and heat over medium-low heat. Liquid should cover the prunes, so use a pan that isn’t too wide.
Simmer prunes, stirring regularly, until they become very tender and start to fall apart a bit, about 10 to 15 minutes. (If prunes are very dry, this may take longer.)
Once cooked, set aside to cool slightly. Remove cinnamon stick. Serve warm.
