Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 medium Apples (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 0.33 cup Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin, even slices about 1/4 inch thick.
In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Once the butter has melted, add the apple slices to the skillet. Stir to coat them evenly in the 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.
Pour the maple syrup over the apples and stir well. Cook for another 3–5 minutes until the mixture becomes syrupy and the apples are fully tender.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Serve warm over pancakes, waffles, oatmeal, or ice cream. Enjoy!
