Servings: 6
Cost: $6.12, $1.02 per serving
Ingredients
- ½ cup 1 stick unsalted butter
- 5-6 cups apples cleaned, cored and cut into slices about ¼ inch thick (Granny Smith or Braeburn apples work well)
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon allspice
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- 4 tablespoons brown sugar
Instructions
- Wash, core, and slice the apples into approximately ¼-inch-thick slices.
- Melt the butter in a large cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.
- Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and ground ginger. Stir until combined.
- Add the sliced apples and gently toss until evenly coated in the butter and spice mixture.
- Cook for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender but still hold their shape.
- Remove from the heat and serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Granny Smith or Braeburn apples work well because they hold their shape during cooking.
Slice the apples evenly so they cook at the same rate.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
