Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 4 medium Apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 cups Raisins
- 2 tablespoons Cognac (or brandy)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Peel, core, and slice the apples into 1/4-inch thick wedges. Toss the slices with lemon juice to prevent browning.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to bubble.
Stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt until the mixture forms a smooth caramel-like sauce, about 1 minute.
Add the apple slices to the skillet and toss to coat them in the sauce. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender but not mushy.
Stir in the raisins and cook for another 2 minutes to allow them to plump up and absorb the flavors.
Raise the heat to medium-high and carefully pour in the cognac. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes to burn off the alcohol while stirring gently.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Serve warm as is, or pair with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or pancakes for an extra indulgence.
