1
Prepare the Apples
Wash, peel, and core the apples. Slice them into thin wedges or rings, ensuring they are uniform for even cooking.
2
Melt the Butter
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Allow it to bubble slightly but do not let it brown.
3
Cook the Apples
Add the sliced apples to the skillet. Stir gently to coat them in the melted butter. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples start to soften.
4
Add Sugar and Spices
Sprinkle the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and pinch of salt over the apples. Stir well to combine and continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes until the apples are tender and caramelized.
5
Finish with Vanilla and Lemon Juice
Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and lemon juice, mixing well. Let the mixture sit for a minute to meld the flavors.
6
Serve Warm
Serve the fried apples warm as a side dish, dessert, or topping for pancakes and ice cream.
