Ingredients

• 4 medium Apples (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.125 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Mix well and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to bubble slightly.

Step 4

Add the sliced apples to the skillet and stir to coat them evenly in the melted butter.

Step 5

Drizzle the lemon juice over the apples and stir well.

Step 6

Sprinkle the sugar and spice mixture evenly over the apples, then add the 2 tablespoons of water to the skillet.

Step 7

Cook the apples over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 10-12 minutes, or until the apples are tender but not mushy. They should develop a light, caramelized sauce.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the heat and let the scalloped apples cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Serve warm as is, or pair with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or as a side dish for pork chops or roasted chicken.
