# Ingredients You’ll Need:
→ Base Ingredients
01 -
5–6 tart apples, cored, peeled, and sliced into wedges about 1/2 inch thick (around 2 lbs)
02 -
4 tbsp of butter
→ Seasonings & Sweeteners

1 tsp of cinnamon, ground

Juice from one lemon (fresh or bottled)
# Steps to Make It:
01 -
First, peel, core, and cut your apples into thick slices. Toss the slices gently with some lemon juice to keep them fresh-looking while you prepare things.
02 -
Place a heavy skillet (like cast iron) on medium heat and let the butter melt until it smells nutty and starts bubbling.
03 -
Drop the apple slices into the skillet. Scatter the brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt over the top. Stir it all up so the apples get nicely covered.
04 -
Pop a lid over the pan and let the apples simmer for about 15 minutes. Stir every once in a while. They’re done when soft, golden, and caramelized.
05 -
Once the apples are tender and glossy, take the skillet off the heat. Enjoy them warm as-is or with a scoop of ice cream or some whipped cream on top!
# Extra Information:
01 -
These warm apples go great as a sweet breakfast side or a comforting dessert.
