Ingredients
- 4 medium apples (such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions
Step 1
Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges, about 1/4-inch thick. Set aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Step 3
Once the butter is melted, stir in the brown sugar, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is bubbly and fragrant.
Step 4
Add the apple slices to the skillet, stirring to coat them evenly in the sugar-butter mixture.

Pour in the water and lemon juice. Stir to combine and reduce the heat to medium-low.
Step 6
Cook the apples for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still hold their shape.

Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat and let the apples cool slightly before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm as a topping for pancakes, waffles, ice cream, or enjoy on their own.
