Ingredients

  • - 6 large Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced 1/4-inch thick
  • - 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • - 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • - 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • - 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • - 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • - Pinch of kosher salt
  • - 2 tbsp apple cider
  • - 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. 11. Melt butter in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat until slightly foaming, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. 22. Add sliced apples to the skillet, spreading them in an even layer. Allow apples to start caramelizing without stirring, about 4 minutes.
  3. 33. Sprinkle granulated and brown sugars evenly over the apples. Gently toss to coat, ensuring each slice gets caramelized edges.
  4. 44. Dust cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt across the apples. Continue cooking, occasionally turning apples gently with a wooden spoon.
  5. 55. Pour apple cider and vanilla extract over the apples. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until apples are tender but not mushy, about 10-12 minutes.
  6. 66. Remove from heat when apples are golden brown and have a glossy, caramelized appearance.
