Ingredients
- 4 whole Apples (firm varieties like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Directions
Step 1
Peel, core, and slice the apples into even wedges, approximately 1/2-inch thick, and toss them with the lemon juice in a large bowl to prevent browning.
Step 2
In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt to the melted butter, stirring until the mixture becomes syrupy, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Add the apple slices to the skillet, stirring gently to coat them evenly in the spiced butter mixture.
Step 5
Pour in the water and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover the skillet and let the apples simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but not mushy.
Step 6
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 7
Let the spiced apples cool slightly before serving. They can be served warm on their own, as a topping for pancakes or oatmeal, or alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert.
