Ingredients
- 4 pieces Apples (medium-sized, firm varieties such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg (optional)
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Water
Directions
Step 1
Peel, core, and slice the apples into 1/4-inch thick slices. Set them aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.
Step 3
Once the butter is melted, add the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and a pinch of salt. Stir until the mixture forms a smooth caramel-like sauce.
Step 4
Add the sliced apples to the skillet and gently toss them to coat each piece in the sauce.
Step 5
Add the 3 tablespoons of water to the skillet to help the apples soften. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the apples cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but not mushy.
Step 6
Once the apples are tender, remove the lid, and stir in the vanilla extract. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to let some of the liquid evaporate and the sauce thicken slightly.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the scalloped apples cool slightly before serving.
Step 8
Serve warm as a side dish, or top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for a dessert option.
