Ingredients
3 tablespoons salted butter
¼ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 pounds firm, tart apples peeled, cored, and sliced about ½ inch thick
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
1-Peel, core, and slice apples into ½ inch thick slices to ensure they cook evenly.
2-Melt 3 tablespoons of salted butter in a large skillet over medium heat until it’s fully melted and bubbling.
3-Add ¼ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup light brown sugar, and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, stirring constantly until the sugar absorbs into the butter, which takes about 30 to 60 seconds.
4-Stir in the sliced apples and 1 tablespoon lemon juice, then cook while stirring frequently until the apples are tender when pierced with a fork, around 10 minutes.
5-Serve them warm, perhaps with vanilla ice cream, pancakes, French toast, or pork chops for a complete meal.
