Ingredients
- 4 medium Apples (such as Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, or Gala)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges, roughly 1/4 inch thick.
Step 2
Toss the apple slices in a bowl with the lemon juice to prevent browning and to add a hint of tartness.
Step 3
Place a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter until it begins to foam slightly.
Step 4
Add the apple slices to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
Step 5
Sprinkle the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and a pinch of salt evenly over the apples. Stir well to coat the apples in the sugar and spices.
Step 6
Continue to cook the apples for another 7-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are tender and lightly caramelized.
Step 7
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the vanilla extract. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat and let the apples cool for a few minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm as a topping for pancakes, waffles, oatmeal, or ice cream, or enjoy as a side dish or snack!
