Ingredients
- 4 medium apples (e.g., Gala, Honeycrisp, or Granny Smith)
- 4 tablespoons Country Crock spread (or unsalted butter, as an alternative)
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar (light or dark)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 pinch salt
Directions
Step 1
Peel, core, and slice the apples into 1/4-inch thick pieces. Place them in a bowl and toss with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Step 2
In a large skillet, melt the Country Crock spread over medium heat until it begins to bubble lightly.
Step 3
Add the sliced apples to the skillet, stirring gently to coat them in the melted spread.
Step 4
Sprinkle the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and a pinch of salt over the apples. Stir to evenly incorporate the seasonings.
Step 5
Cook the apples over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes, or until the apples are tender but not mushy.
Step 6
Add the vanilla extract during the last minute of cooking, stirring to combine.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from heat and allow the apples to cool slightly. Serve warm as a topping for pancakes, waffles, vanilla ice cream, or enjoy them on their own!
