Equipment
Ingredients
- 5 apples - cored sliced, and peeled
- 4 tablespoons real butter
- 2 tablespoons granulated white sugar
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
- salt to taste
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 th cup pecan pieces
Instructions
- First, cut your apples (apple slicer works great for even slices) and then peel remaining skin off apple slices.
- Melt down butter in skillet on medium heat, this should only take a few minutes.
- Add peeled apples, sugars, lemon, salt, pecans and cinnamon on top of apples
- Stir apples. As you stir, the sugar will start to break down and become a syrupy liquid.
- Keep coating and stirring apples on Medium-High heat for approximately 6 minutes.
- If the liquid is evaporating too quickly or starting to burn down, you can adjust the temperature down to medium or medium low heat.
- After 6 minutes, add a lid and let the apples finish sauteing down on Medium-low heat for approx 6 more minutes, or until they are crisp tender. You should be able to use a fork or butter knife to cut through them, but not be mushy. They may need a few additional minutes depending on how many apples you have in your pan.
- Serve hot for breakfast or a side dish
