Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Apples (firm varieties like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Peel, core, and slice the apples into 1/4-inch thick slices. Toss the slices with the lemon juice to prevent browning.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it starts to foam.
Add the apple slices to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
Sprinkle the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt over the apples. Stir well to coat each slice evenly in the butter and sugar mixture.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the apples are tender and slightly caramelized.
Stir in the vanilla extract during the last minute of cooking.
Remove the skillet from the heat and serve the sautéed apples warm. They can be enjoyed on their own, as a topping for pancakes, ice cream, or oatmeal, or alongside roasted meats.
