# Needed Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
4 medium Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples, peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick
02 -
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
03 -
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
04 -
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
05 -
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
06 -
1/4 cup water
# Preparation Steps:
01 -
Melt butter in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Add apple slices and stir to coat evenly with melted butter. Cook for about 2 minutes until apples begin to glisten.
02 -
Sprinkle brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg over the apples. Stir well to combine as the sugar begins to dissolve.
03 -
Pour in the water. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender but not mushy and the sauce thickens.
04 -
If sauce thickens too quickly, add 1 tablespoon water. If sauce is too thin, simmer an additional minute. Serve warm as a side or topping.

For best results, use apples sliced exactly 1/4 inch thick to maintain ideal texture.
