- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice

Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Add the lemon juice and water to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are caramelized and tender.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low and add the cooked egg noodles to the skillet. Toss to combine, ensuring the noodles are coated in the sweet and spiced apple mixture.
