Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium apples (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 cup water
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Peel, core, and slice the apples into 1/4-inch thick slices.
In a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.
Add the apple slices to the skillet and stir to coat them in the butter.
Sprinkle the sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt evenly over the apples. Stir well to combine.
Pour in the water and lemon juice, then stir to ensure the liquids coat the apples.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet with a lid.
Cook the apples for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Serve the stewed apples warm on their own, over pancakes, with ice cream, or alongside pork dishes for a sweet-savory pairing.
