Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs Golden Delicious apples
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp apple cider

Method
 

  1. Core apples; cut into 1/2-inch wedges, keeping peels for structure.
  2. Melt butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat 2 to 3 minutes until nutty-smelling with amber flecks.
  3. Add apples; cook about 6 minutes, turning every few minutes, until cut faces start browning.
  4. Stir in brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until sugar melts around slices.
  5. Add lemon juice and cider. Cover; cook 3 to 5 minutes until a knife meets slight resistance in a slice center.
  6. Uncover; toss 1 minute until sauce is glossy, not watery. Serve warm.
