Ingredients:

  • 4 large firm apples (approx. 2 lbs / 900g), peeled, cored, and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 tsp sea salt

Instructions:

  1. Toss the apple slices with the lemon juice in a medium bowl. Note: This prevents oxidation and preps the surface.
  2. Place a 12 inch heavy bottomed skillet over medium heat and melt the butter until it begins to shimmer.
  3. Add apple slices in a single layer and sauté for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until edges are translucent.
  4. Sprinkle cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt evenly over the apples.
  5. Pour in the maple syrup over the top of the slices.
  6. Stir gently to coat everything in the mixture.
  7. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 5–8 minutes until the sauce reduces into a glossy mahogany syrup.
  8. Remove from heat once the apples are tender but still hold their shape.
