Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Apples (e.g., Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
- 3 tablespoons Amaretto liqueur
- 2 tablespoons Sliced almonds
- 2 cups Vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin, even wedges.
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg to the melted butter, stirring until the sugar dissolves and forms a syrupy consistency.
Add the apple slices to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly in the buttery sugar mixture.
Cook the apples over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but not mushy.
Pour the amaretto liqueur over the apples and gently stir to combine. Allow the mixture to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Sprinkle the sliced almonds over the apples and give a final stir.
Serve the warm amaretto apples in bowls, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
