Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 medium apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or your favorite variety), peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (or to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional) Optional for additional flavor
  • a pinch of salt
  • to taste lemon juice (optional, to prevent browning)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by preparing your apples—ensure they’re peeled, cored, and sliced for even cooking.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once shimmering, toss in the apple slices. Cook for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.
  2. Sprinkle in the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir everything together and allow the apples to soak up the spices.
  3. Continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes until the apples are tender but still hold their shape.
  4. When the sugars begin to caramelize and you see a golden glaze forming, the dish is close to ready.

Notes

Warm cinnamon apples can be served over pancakes, oatmeal, or ice cream. Consider adding nuts for crunch or substituting brown sugar with maple syrup for a healthier twist. Use a mix of apple varieties for deeper flavor.
