Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Wash and dry the apples. Core the apples and slice them into thin, even slices using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer. Leave the skin on for added texture and nutrients.

  3. In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt, stirring until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

  4. Add the sliced apples to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly with the spiced butter mixture. Cook the apples for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are slightly softened but still hold their shape.

  5. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and lemon juice.

  6. Arrange the spiced apple slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle any remaining sauce from the skillet over the apples.

  7. Bake the apple slices in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the apples are tender and lightly caramelized around the edges.

  8. Once baked, let the apple slices cool slightly before serving. Optionally, top with chopped nuts, raisins, or a dollop of whipped cream.
