Ingredients
- 5 medium apples (such as Granny Smith or Golden Delicious)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons vegan butter
- 1 third cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup water
Directions
Step 1
Peel, core, and slice the apples into 1/4-inch thick wedges.
Step 2
In a large bowl, toss the apple slices with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Step 3
Melt the vegan butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg to the skillet, stirring to combine.
Step 5
Add the apple slices to the skillet and stir to coat them evenly with the sugar and spice mixture.
Step 6
Pour in the water and cover the skillet with a lid. Allow the apples to cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and slightly translucent.
Step 7
Remove the lid and continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Step 8
Stir in the vanilla extract and cook for another minute until well combined.
Step 9
Remove from heat and serve the Vegan Classic Southern Fried Apples warm, either as a side dish or over desserts.
