Ingredients
- 5 large Granny Smith apples peeled, cored, and thinly sliced (about 6 cups)
- 1 TBSP lemon juice
- ½ cup salted butter
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch or all purpose flour
- dash nutmeg optional
Instructions
- Peel, core, and slice the apples. Place the sliced apples into a medium bowl. Drizzle the lemon juice over the apple slices and toss lightly to coat.
- Melt the butter in a cast iron skillet or other large skillet over medium high heat.
- When the butter is melted, add the apple slices to the pan. Saute until the apples begin to soften, about 5-8 minutes. You’ll notice a slight change in color from crisp white/green to a creamy white/yellow. If you're pressed for time, cover the skillet with a lid.
- Stir the sugar and cinnamon into the apple mixture. Add a dash of nutmeg if desired. Continue cooking until the sugar dissolves into the butter and forms a sauce. Removing the lid from the skillet will help thicken the sauce. (if you've opted to cover the pan with a lid.)
- Stir together the cornstarch with 3 TBSP cold water. Pour over the apples and stir to coat apples, cooking over low until the sauce thickens. If you would like more sauce, stir in ¼-½ cup of water and continue cooking to thicken the additional sauce.
