  • Skillet

Ingredients

  • 4 cups apples - about 4 apples
  • 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

  • To a medium-size bowl, fill water to 3/4 full and add the juice of a lemon. Peel, core, and slice apples and add to the lemon water as you go. Drain water off of prepped apples, and set aside.
  • To a large skillet, add butter, brown and white sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Cook for 2 minutes until the sugars are melted.
