Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Apples (such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Bourbon
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 Pinch of salt
Instructions
Peel, core, and slice the apples into 1/4-inch thick slices. Set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to foam.
Add the apple slices to the skillet, stirring to coat them evenly with the melted butter.
Sprinkle the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt over the apples. Stir to combine.
Cook the apples for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and start to caramelize.
Reduce the heat to low and carefully pour in the bourbon. Stir to coat the apples and let the alcohol cook off for 1-2 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and give the apples one final stir.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the bourbon buttered apple slices warm as a topping for pancakes, oatmeal, ice cream, or enjoy them on their own.
