Ingredients
- 6 medium-sized Apples (firm varieties like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Peel, core, and slice the apples into evenly sized wedges, about 1/4-inch thick, to ensure even cooking.
Step 2
In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the sliced apples to the pan, stirring to coat them in melted butter.
Step 4
Sprinkle the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg over the apples and stir gently to combine.
Step 5
Pour in the water and lemon juice, then stir again. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low and cover the pan with a lid. Let the apples cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but not mushy.
Step 7
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 8
Allow the stewed apples to cool slightly before serving. They can be served warm or at room temperature as a topping for oatmeal, pancakes, or ice cream, or enjoyed on their own.
