Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces Apples (medium, peeled, cored, and diced)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Peel, core, and dice the apples into small cubes, roughly 1/4-inch in size.
In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the diced apples to the skillet and stir to coat them in the melted butter.
Sprinkle brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg over the apples. Stir well to evenly distribute the spices and sugar.
Cook the apples for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and release their juices.
Mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl to create a slurry, ensuring there are no lumps.
Reduce the skillet's heat to low and stir in the cornstarch slurry. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the mixture thickens.
Stir in the vanilla extract and lemon juice for added flavor. Remove the skillet from the heat.
Let the filling cool slightly before using it to fill crepes, or serve warm as desired.
