Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and lemon juice.
-
Arrange the spiced apple slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle any remaining sauce from the skillet over the apples.
-
Bake the apple slices in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the apples are tender and lightly caramelized around the edges.
-
Once baked, let the apple slices cool slightly before serving. Optionally, top with chopped nuts, raisins, or a dollop of whipped cream.
