Ingredients

  • 1/2-1 teaspoon cinnamon adjust the amount according to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoon butter
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2-3 lbs apples granny smith, or another firm apple. Peeled and sliced about 1/2" thick

Instructions

  • In a pot or skillet, place butter, apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon, stir over medium heat cook for 5 minutes, and cover after 2 minutes, apple slices should be tender when pierced with a fork then remove from the stove. Cover to keep warm.
  • If you want to thicken the sauce, remove the apples to a separate bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of water with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch mixed well and pour into the pot with the remaining liquid and simmer until thick, then place the apples back into the sauce.

Notes

Thinner slices will produce mushy apples, and nice thicker slices will hold their shape after being cooked.
