Allow to rest for 10 minutes.

Apples:
Meanwhile, heat broiler to high. In a bowl, combine butter, maple syrup and cinnamon. Place apple slices on a large broiler pan and brush with butter mixture. Broil about 4 minutes per side, turning once, until tender, brushing occasionally with butter mixture.
