Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Apples (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.125 teaspoons Ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Water

Instructions
Peel, core, and slice the apples into 1/4-inch thick slices.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the apple slices to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
Sprinkle the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves evenly over the apples. Stir to coat the apples in the spices and sugar.
Add the water and continue to cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and lemon juice.
Optional: Stir in chopped pecans or walnuts for added texture and flavor.
Serve the spiced apples warm as a standalone dessert, over pancakes, waffles, oatmeal, or as a topping for ice cream.
