Ingredients
- 4 whole (medium-sized) Apples
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 pinch Salt
Directions
Step 1
Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges. Aim for uniform slices for even cooking.
Step 2
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the apple slices to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
Step 4
Sprinkle the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt over the apples. Stir well to ensure all slices are evenly coated.
Step 5
Drizzle the lemon juice and pour the water into the skillet. Stir again to combine.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet with a lid. Allow the apples to simmer gently for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and the liquid has thickened slightly.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the cooked apples cool for a minute before serving.
Step 8
Serve warm as-is, or use as a topping for pancakes, waffles, oatmeal, or ice cream.
