Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 medium apples (such as Granny Smith or Golden Delicious)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons vegan butter
- 1 third cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
Peel, core, and slice the apples into 1/4-inch thick wedges.
In a large bowl, toss the apple slices with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Melt the vegan butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg to the skillet, stirring to combine.
Add the apple slices to the skillet and stir to coat them evenly with the sugar and spice mixture.
Pour in the water and cover the skillet with a lid. Allow the apples to cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and slightly translucent.
Remove the lid and continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Stir in the vanilla extract and cook for another minute until well combined.
Remove from heat and serve the Vegan Classic Southern Fried Apples warm, either as a side dish or over desserts.
