Ingredients
- 4 medium Apples (firm variety such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 pinch Salt
Directions
Step 1
Peel, core, and slice the apples into 1/4-inch thick wedges. Toss the slices with a teaspoon of lemon juice to prevent browning.
Step 2
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it starts to bubble.
Step 3
Add the apple slices to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes, without stirring, until the edges begin to caramelize.
Step 4
Sprinkle the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon evenly over the apples. Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors.
Step 5
Stir the apples gently to coat them in the melted sugar and butter mixture. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and golden brown.
Step 6
Pour in the water to deglaze the pan, scraping up any caramelized bits from the bottom. Let the liquid cook down for 1-2 minutes until it forms a syrupy glaze.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the fried apples cool slightly before serving.
Step 8
Serve warm as a side dish, over pancakes or waffles, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert.
