• 0.33 cup Maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin, even slices about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 2

In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

Once the butter has melted, add the apple slices to the skillet. Stir to coat them evenly in the butter.

Cook the apples for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and start to caramelize.
