Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Apples (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Peel, core, and slice the 4 medium apples into thin, even slices (about 1/4-inch thick).
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to bubble slightly.
Add the sliced apples to the skillet and stir to coat them evenly in the melted butter.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the apples and stir well.
Sprinkle the sugar and spice mixture evenly over the apples, then add the 2 tablespoons of water to the skillet.
Cook the apples over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 10-12 minutes, or until the apples are tender but not mushy. They should develop a light, caramelized sauce.
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the scalloped apples cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.
Serve warm as is, or pair with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or as a side dish for pork chops or roasted chicken.
