**Easy Glazed Apples**
**Ingredients:**
– 4 large apples
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 1/4 cup brown sugar
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
– 1/4 cup apple juice
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
**Instructions:**
1. **Prepare the Apples**
– Start by washing the apples thoroughly under running water. Peel the skin off the apples using a vegetable peeler or a knife if you prefer them peeled.
– Core the apples using an apple corer or a small paring knife to remove the seeds and tough center part. Slice the apples into 1/4-inch thick slices.
2. **Make the Glaze**
– In a large skillet or frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the pan. Stir well to combine and cook for about 2 minutes until the sugar has melted and the mixture is bubbly.
3. **Add the Apples**
– Carefully add the sliced apples to the pan, stirring gently to coat them with the glaze mixture. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the apples have softened slightly.
4. **Simmer with Juices**
– Pour the apple juice and lemon juice over the apples in the pan. Reduce the heat to low and simmer the apples for an additional 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and coated with the delicious glaze.
5. **Serve Warm**
– Once the apples are soft and caramelized, remove the pan from the heat. Serve the Easy Glazed Apples warm as a standalone dessert, or as a topping for ice cream, pancakes, oatmeal, or yogurt. The options are endless!
