Easy Skillet Apples (Ready in 15 Minutes)

Method

  1. 1

    In a large skillet or a medium cast iron skillet melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped apples and the lemon juice and cook for 2 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, vanilla and salt.

  3. 3

    Stir to combine, making sure the apples are fully coated. Continue to sauté over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, or until the apples are tender.

  4. 4

    Serve warm with ice cream or on their own.

Notes

You can use any apples you like for this recipe. Firmer varieties like Honeycrisp, Gala, or Jonagold hold their shape best, while softer apples like McIntosh will break down for a saucier texture. No lemon on hand? A splash of apple cider vinegar works in a pinch to keep the apples from browning. Swap the brown sugar for pure maple syrup for a slightly different, more caramel-like sweetness. Store cooled skillet apples in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To freeze, let them cool completely, then transfer to a freezer safe container or bag for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating. To reheat, warm them in a skillet over medium low heat for a few minutes, or microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until heated through.
