INGREDIENTS
- 6 medium Granny Smith apples peeled, cored and sliced (see notes)
- 1/2 cup unsalted sweet cream butter (1 stick)
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg (see notes)
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a large non stick skillet or cast iron skillet melt butter over medium low heat. Stir in sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg; stirring continuously until sugar is dissolved.
- Add apples and cook just until the apple begins to break down and starts to become a little tender; stirring several times. This usually takes between 7-10 minutes.
- Serve immediately.
NOTES
- Other good apple choices are Honeycrisp, Braeburn or Pink Lady (also known as Cripps Pink).
- If you don’t like nutmeg add a couple pinches of ground cloves or apple pie spice.
