Fried Cinnamon Apples
Ingredients:
– 4 medium-sized apples, cored, peeled, and sliced
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 1/4 cup brown sugar
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
– 1/4 cup water
– Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving (optional)
Instructions:
1. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to sizzle.
2. Add the sliced apples to the skillet and toss to coat them with the melted butter.
3. Sprinkle the brown sugar over the apples and stir gently to combine.
4. Sprinkle the ground cinnamon and nutmeg over the apples, stirring to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
5. Pour the water over the apples, cover the skillet with a lid, and let the apples simmer for about 5 minutes, or until they start to soften.
6. Remove the lid and continue cooking the apples, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and caramelized, about 5-8 more minutes.
7. If the liquid in the skillet becomes too thick or sticky, add a bit more water to prevent burning, but only a tablespoon at a time.
8. Once the apples are cooked to your desired tenderness and caramelization, remove the skillet from the heat.
9. Serve the fried cinnamon apples warm, topping them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra decadent treat.
