Description
A quick and delicious recipe for sautéed apples, spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 medium-sized apples, peeled, cored, and cut into wedges
- 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- A pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt completely.
- Introduce the apple wedges into the skillet, ensuring they are well-coated with the butter.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg (if desired), lemon juice, and a pinch of salt over the apples.
- Gently toss everything together to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
- Cook for approximately 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples soften while maintaining a slight crunch.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and let the apples rest for a few moments before serving warm.
Notes
- For a deeper caramel flavor, extend the cooking time until the apples achieve a lovely golden hue.
- Consider adding a handful of raisins or chopped walnuts for added crunch and flavor contrast.
