Ingredients
- 4 medium Apples
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges (about 1/4 inch thick).
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Once the butter is melted and slightly bubbling, add the apple slices to the skillet.
Sprinkle the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt evenly over the apples.
Stir gently to coat the apples in the buttery sugar mixture.
Cook the apples over medium heat for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are softened and begin to caramelize around the edges.
Reduce heat to low and add the vanilla extract, stirring to combine.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Remove from heat and serve warm as a side dish, dessert, or topping for pancakes, waffles, or ice cream.
