Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces egg noodles
- 3 medium apples (such as Fuji or Honeycrisp)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 quarter cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons walnuts (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the noodles are cooking, peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges.
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the apple slices and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Sprinkle the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt over the apples. Stir well to coat the apples evenly.
Add the lemon juice and water to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are caramelized and tender.
Reduce the heat to low and add the cooked egg noodles to the skillet. Toss to combine, ensuring the noodles are coated in the sweet and spiced apple mixture.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with chopped walnuts, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
