Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Apples (firm variety such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Peel, core, and slice the apples into 1/4-inch thick wedges. Toss the slices with a teaspoon of lemon juice to prevent browning.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it starts to bubble.
Add the apple slices to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes, without stirring, until the edges begin to caramelize.
Sprinkle the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon evenly over the apples. Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors.
Stir the apples gently to coat them in the melted sugar and butter mixture. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and golden brown.
Pour in the water to deglaze the pan, scraping up any caramelized bits from the bottom. Let the liquid cook down for 1-2 minutes until it forms a syrupy glaze.
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the fried apples cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish, over pancakes or waffles, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert.
