Skillet Cinnamon Apples

Steps

  1. Peel and core the apples, then cut them into slices about 1/2 inch thick.
  2. Toss the slices with the lemon juice in a bowl so they don't brown.
  3. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add the apples and cook, stirring now and then, until they start to soften at the edges.
  5. Sprinkle the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt over the apples and stir until the sugar melts.
  6. In a small cup, stir the cornstarch into the water until smooth.
  7. Pour the cornstarch mixture into the skillet and simmer, stirring, until the sauce is thick and glossy and the apples are tender but not mushy.
  8. Serve warm on their own or over vanilla ice cream.
