Ingredients

• 4 medium Apples (firm varieties like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.125 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Peel, core, and slice the apples into 1/4-inch thick slices. Toss the slices with the lemon juice to prevent browning.

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it starts to foam.

Step 3

Add the apple slices to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.

Step 4

Sprinkle the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt over the apples. Stir well to coat each slice evenly in the butter and sugar mixture.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the apples are tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 6

Stir in the vanilla extract during the last minute of cooking.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from the heat and serve the sautéed apples warm. They can be enjoyed on their own, as a topping for pancakes, ice cream, or oatmeal, or alongside roasted meats.
