Description

A delightful, warm treat made with tender apples and spiced cinnamon, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium-sized apples (such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional toppings: whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or chopped nuts

Instructions

  1. Begin by washing and peeling the apples. Core and slice them into thin wedges.
  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until bubbly.
  3. Once the butter is ready, add the apple slices and toss gently.
  4. After 5 minutes, sprinkle in the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Drizzle lemon juice over the apples.
  5. For an added depth of flavor, let the apples simmer for a minute longer, stirring constantly.

Notes

Serve warm with ice cream or as a filling for crepes. Can substitute butter for coconut oil for a healthier option.
